Trusted charging performance with the Futaba CR-2000

The Futaba CR-2000 DC Peak Charger is designed for modellers seeking safe, repeatable charging of NiCD and NiMH batteries. Delta-peak detection and auto cut-off protect packs from overcharge.

What the LCD reports

The LCD displays input and output voltages, the charging current, detected peak voltage, elapsed charge time and total charged amount. This readout helps confirm a correct charge cycle.

What comes in the box

Included are a 12V charger with cigarette lighter lead, alligator clips, a 28" transmitter charging cord and two receiver adaptors at 20" and 80". These items make it easy to connect a range of radio gear and small batteries.

Supply voltage and current needs

To operate correctly the CR-2000 requires an 11-15V DC supply capable of at least 6A output. Providing that ensures the charger can reach its rated charge currents without issue.

For club members and solo builders using NiCD or NiMH packs, the Futaba CR-2000 DC Peak Charger is a straightforward, well-documented choice for routine charging and pack care.

Yes. The receiver charge adapters allow charging more than one RX pack, within the current limits shown in the specifications.
This charger uses delta-peak detection for NiMH and NiCD packs rather than active cell balancing. It stops on peak detection to avoid overcharge.
Yes, as long as the leads match the pack connectors and the charger's input requirements. Inspect connections and polarity before applying power.
