The charger isn't that special!(IC-3s)

I got the guy at RS to open one of the chargers for the IC-3s and to my suprise I found out that the charger charges at a whoping 15 amps! I have never heard of any batery being able to be charged at 10 ams, much less 15. So it's realy the battreries that are special. You should be able to carge these things with just about any hobby grade charger.

Make an IC-3 Charger


Requirements:
Soldering Iron
Solder
A four AAA holder or 2 two AAA holders
Radio Shack RC Car battery repair kit




1. All you do is get a 4aaa holder or 2 2aaa holders(if your RS doesnt have fouraa holders) and the battery reapair kit from RS 2. set your charger to 5-15 amp charge and start.

Notes:
1. Most hobby grade battery chargers that don't have charging settings charge at 5 amps, so it will take about 30minutes to an hour to charge.

2. For a diagram on how to use the 2 2aa holders click Here or if that doesnt work COPY AND PASTE this URL in your address bar http://www.geocities.com/acechad2001/untitled.bmp

B.C. You might want to put this on the mods and tuts list

I don't have a hobby grade charger, so the $20 was worth it.

$27 for the 4 battery charger with 2 aa bats. $13 for a 4 pack of aaa bats. These prices are at walmart. The prices haven't dropped. They have been that price at walmart since novmember.

Great info about the charger. Thanks.

Hmmm... I gotta look into the IC3 thing...sounds like an upgrade with a lot of bang for buck potential.

Yeah walmart sells Ryovac IC3s...which are infact 12 bucks..and the charger is 27..even has a fan in it ^_^! I bought mine a few days ago...works like a charm and they are even better than RS IC3s...you know why? cause their IC3s are 25 fricken bucks..and they are the same battery...except RS's...say Radio shack on em...woohoo! Now who would want to build a charger...when you can get one that charges your bats in 15 min for 30 bucks...that aint professional enough for ya? o.O

The charger isn't that special!(IC-3s)

Yea the Wal-Mart in my town has had the IC-3's since the end of summer last year. The RS here just got them back in like November. I've thought about getting a set and seeing how well they work. Just haven't had the extra money. Well Later
