E-Flite Tx charger?
My 6ch ccpm Tx that came w/ my Blade Cp pro has a charging jack on the side, but the website doesn't list any corresponding charger for it. Does anyone know anything about this? Also, if it's at all possible, I'd like to use my Novak Millineum charger to charge my Rayovac NiMh rechargeable AA's instead of the 16 hour charger I am presently using. Can I just wire into the charging jack on the side of the Tx to do this? If so, what rate can you charge AA NiMh's at?

RE: E-Flite Tx charger?
BOOM,
Some time ago I got tired like you of stufing batteries in the TX. So I bought some Habor Freight rechargable AA's. I looked through all of my old cell phone chargers, old rv spot light chargers, and then I found my old motorcycle 12-6 volt charger. Again it looks just like what you plug your cell in to. I set it on 6 volt and put in the re-chargable batteries and left it on the garage floor for safety to chargeover night. Works like a charm. My charger puts out 6 volts 500 mAh. Now each battery is 700 mAh so it does take all night to charge, I never logged the exact time, but it does work well for. But first I took the TX apart to make sure there was the charging "brain" in my TX DX6i and it was there.
But before I rean in this I have several TX for FM heli's that use 6 batteries so charging them was impossible "easily". So I purchased at Costco (please read their spec sheet) Eneloop batteries with charger made by Sanyo. So then I could charge 4 AA at once and be good go. These batteries will only loose 10% charge over like a year, they are incredable.
Here are the picks and information for your review. These battery packs come with sleeves so you can use the AA's with sleeves to fit like C flashlight, again red the information and Costoc has the best price on them in a kit with charges and such

This is what I started with from Harbor Frieght but thet "do not" last as long as the Eneloops but! they are cheaper as you dont need to by the big Eneloop pack with the charger. These just slip into the back to your TX and plug in the transformer (you still need to find from something else -to expensive at radio shack) we spoke of and there you go. But when all is said done I prefer the Eneloop package. Now I put those enloops in the TX or its charger and I am done. I like the Eneloops pack so I always have a set of charged AA'a on the self ready to go if once of TX's needs a change.
Feel free if you need more or wishe to PM me.
