:ö:before (or when i'm at the house) i use my 1/10 rc car battery peak charger to charge my TTTT batteries, if you have a 1/10 electric rc car, chances are you have a battery charger too , but a 1/10 uses 6pcs. battery (7.2 volts) and a TTTT usually uses 4pcs 50+Mah around 4.8 volts, so if you plan to use your 1/10 rc charger, make sure that your charger has the capacity of charging 1 or more cells.. why?, usually a charger of this type has a battery sensing capability, that detects if you are charging 1 or more cells, and they give out the right amount of power to charge depending on the number of batteries you plugged in, but if you look at my gallery i posted there a homemade peak charger out of cellphone charger/adoptor which i find very handy... or if you have a portable disc or cassette player, they usually come with a wall adoptor, you can use this too to charge your TTTT battery, this is will act like a timed charger, so you have to watch over it while charging... check out the thread "how long does it take to charge your battery" this will give you an idea of how long your battery will be fully charged (using your portable cassette wall adoptor)depending on the output of your charger, that thread is very handy if you are using a timed charger. i hope this help.

:ö: Arch2b the PCPS is not a "charger"!!! ... it's a power supply that can be used to power your peak charger!, not to charge your batteries!!!!.

I've posted some internal pics of the cellphone charger that i modified to function as charger for the TTTT on my gallery, this may give you an idea how i did it, though i'll try to make the step-by-step instruction too..but the power here right now is unstable due to typhoon.. but i'll make one soon

Hi,
I think, the best choice ist the "Intellicontrol" from Simprop

I use this little charger for all my rc-toys. Just plug and press the "charge-key" and the charge select the correct akku and charg it in a short time.

But you can build your own charger by using the IC 1702 or another charger circiut.

The way to charge the cars by constant Amps charger is still possible. But if you forget the accus in the charger,....

To connect the accus (in the car) to the charger I use a little "jumper" conector (2.54mm wide). Thist one I glue under the mainframe so it is unvisible when the truck is on the road.


best regards

Thorsten
