Default Triton setup

I am just starting out with RC Heli's and bought a new Triton charger.

I am not too sure what some of the settings are and could use your help!

Here is what I have (Futaba 9CHP radio):

Futaba TX battery - 9.6vdc, 700mah
Futaba RX battery - 4.8vdc, 1000mah

I want to set up a quick charge for each battery as well as a regular charge with cycling.

Charge current, discharge current, discharge volt per cell???????????

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

Default RE: Triton setup

I've had a Triton for a few months now and hardly ever use the memory functions...

I usually toggle between NiCd and NiMh. Charge to 1c mostly. ie: Your Tx is 700mAh, so it would I would charge it at .7A (or up to 1A if in a hurry).

I don't believe the voltage per cell is applicable to anything other then Lipo's. Not sure about that though.

You may want to peruse the battery forum here, a WEALTH of information from Red and the gang.

Or Reds' web site http://www.rcbatteryclinic.com

What servos are you flying? If you plan on adding digitals, plan on getting a bigger pack or flying 2 or 3 flights per charge.

I just stuck a 4000 mah Duralite system 8volt li-ion with a 5.1 v regulator on my Raptor with all digitals and I can fly all weekend on one charge. The draw back is they are a bit pricey.
