Charger and battery checker for model radio packs

The Futaba CR-2000 functions as an RC-focused DC peak charger and battery checker for NiCd and NiMH transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) packs plus single-cell glow plug starters. It utilises delta-peak cutoff and an LCD screen that displays input and output voltages, charge current, peak voltage, charge duration and charge amount, along with an audible tone to signal completion or error conditions.

The device supports charging TX and RX packs at the same time and offers selectable charging currents suited to common pack sizes used with model radio gear. A suitable external DC source between 11-16V with at least 6A capacity is required. The product is for model usage only and must not be used on full-size vehicles.

Safety and operation tips: ensure correct polarity connections, avoid short circuits, do not concurrently charge transmitter packs with glow starter packs, keep charging within the recommended 5-40°C range, and do not expose the unit to direct sunlight during use.

For routine pack maintenance the Futaba CR-2000 gives reliable peak-detection charging with a clear readout and audio feedback; observe the specified input power and safety recommendations in everyday use.

What transmitter pack sizes can the CR-2000 handle?

The unit supports transmitter packs in the range of 6-8 NiCd/NiMH cells and capacities from roughly 500mAh up to 2000mAh as listed in the specifications.

How effective is the delta-peak cutoff on this charger?

The CR-2000 uses delta-peak detection to terminate charge when the cell voltage indicates a full condition; this method is standard for NiCd and NiMH packs and helps prevent overcharge when used correctly.

Are the necessary cables and adapters supplied?

Yes. The package includes a cigarette lighter adapter, alligator clips, and the transmitter and receiver charge cords detailed in the packing list.

What ambient temperatures are recommended during charging?

Charge only within the recommended 5-40°C range to protect cell health and ensure accurate peak detection; avoid exposing the charger to direct sunlight while in use.
