DC peak charger built for radio equipment

The Futaba CR-2000 serves 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 uses delta-peak cutoff and an LCD display that reports input and output voltages, charging current, peak voltage, elapsed charge time and accumulated charge, along with an audible indicator for charge completion or faults.

Both TX and RX packs can be charged at once using separate ports, and the unit allows selection of charging currents that suit the typical pack sizes used in model radio systems. An external DC supply of 11-16V with around 6A or greater output is required for normal operation. This device is designed for model use and is not intended for full-size vehicles.

Handling reminders: ensure correct polarity when connecting, prevent short circuits, avoid simultaneous charging of transmitter packs and glow starter packs, and charge inside the recommended ambient temperature range while keeping the unit out of direct sunlight.

How should I hook up TX and RX packs to the charger?

Connect each pack to its matching cable and check polarity before applying power. Use the supplied transmitter and receiver cords and secure clips to avoid loose contacts.

What information does the LCD display show?

The screen displays input/output voltages, charge current, peak voltage, elapsed charging time and the amount charged so you can monitor progress at a glance.

What charging currents can I select for TX and RX?

The TX channel offers 0.5A to 2A, while the RX channel covers 0.05A to 2A, allowing you to set appropriate rates for pack capacity and chemistry.

Can I use the charger with a single-cell glow plug starter?

Yes, the CR-2000 supports single-cell glow plug starters, but avoid charging glow starter packs at the same time as transmitter packs to prevent unexpected interactions.
