Sam Thomas Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hi Well this isnt really ELECTRIC flight, but its electronics. I charged up my Rx pack in my glow tutor 40 a while ago, its a 2600mah 6v pack, I charged it up to test my engine and I used it for about 10-15 minutes and it hasent been used since. Im off flying tomorrow so should I charge it more or just leave it? - Thanks - Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Always mate, not worth the risk. Do you have a Voltspy or similar as it will tell you for sure? Do you have a delta peak type charger, that way if it doesn't need a charge it'll be fine. If you don't then I suggest you invest in one as it'll keep your batteries in tip-top condition. No batteries really like being over chrged or just topped off every once in a while, but in the mean time if you have nothing better to go by, I'd charge it.Edited By Shaun Chant on 09/04/2010 18:23:43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevor grace Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 trevor grace hi Tim, how can i discharge my DX7 Tx battery pack. can i purchase special connector leads from Tx battery to charger can i discharge through my Tx charge socket many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi Trevor. Maybe is the best answer I can give - the blocking diode fitted in the circuit ( to prevent wrong polarity ) may prevent your charger from discharging it.If thats the case, then simply remove the battery from the set, and proceed.Alternatively, just leave the tx switched on and discharge them like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor grace Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanx Tim!! The alternative sounds good to me!!!!! Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
