We have a 3030 on our blimp, and are having some troubles with it. We can't get the Tx batteries to deep cycle, and we are concerned about cutting the hard wires to install a removable connector because we aren't sure if the tx has a backup battery to save the program settings. Does anyone know if cutting the battery hardwire will erase our programming?

I had the same problem when I started using a Supernova, in fact it could not even charge via the charge socket as something blocked it from reading the battery properly. I cut the lead from the battery and installed JR plug and socket, and charged via that. Never had a problem. The 3030 does have a lithium battery somewhere in it for memory but it does not need a full-time connection to the main battery. The offocial Mpx advice if you need fast charging is to unplug the battery lead where it plugs into the main board, so it is officially OK to disconnect the battery, however some people have found that plug was never designed to be used so much and can wear and lose contact.
