DC peak charger and checker for radio packs

The Futaba CR-2000 is an RC-scale DC peak charger and battery checker designed for NiCd and NiMH transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) packs and single-cell glow plug starters. It combines peak-detection cutoff, an LCD that shows input/output voltages, charge current, peak voltage, charge time and charge amount, plus an audio alert to indicate charge completion or fault conditions.

The unit supports simultaneous TX and RX charging and provides selectable charging currents for common pack sizes used in model radio systems. The charger requires an external DC power source rated 11–15V with at least 6A output capacity. It is intended for bench or field use with model equipment and should not be used on full-size vehicles.

Operational notes and handling: connect polarity correctly, avoid short circuits, and do not charge radio transmitter packs and glow starter packs at the same time. Perform charging within the specified temperature window to protect cells, and keep the charger out of direct sunlight during use.

  • One Futaba 12V Battery Charger with cigarette lighter adapter and alligator clips
  • 28" (711mm) transmitter charge cord
  • 20" (508mm) receiver charge adapter cord
