You asked for them.. here they are. This is the best NiMH replacement pack available for computer Transmitters. This new NiMH cell has been optimised for charge retention, outperforming all other NiMH AA types in retaining a charge between charge sessions. With 2000ma capacity, they offer longer runtimes than the venerable 1650 series NiMH Tx packs and significantly outperform the 2700's in charge retention, durability and duty cycle lifetimes. If your looking for the best value for your dollar in terms of overall life expectancy and durability, these packs will deliver for you.

The Eneloop / FDK Twicell 2000 Tx upgrade packs will give approx 5 hours runtime in most Transmitters and are robust enough to tolorate fast charge at the field with an appropriate NiMH peak detection capable field charger. Eneloop cells are pre-formed and ship @ 70% charged, so getting these Tx packs into service is fast and easy. Slow charging can be accomplished with your standard system wall wart charger with extended charge time, just stop the charge when the pack warms up! 

Available for Most radio types, finished & with connector.
$49.95 includes connector.

Tech Tip... Futaba 9z & JR 10x  & 12x Cassette Battery Reload Guide.  

DSCN5320.jpg

Cassette Reload Video Tutorial; CLICK HERE

First, remove the 4 screws that hold the cassette together. Here you can see (click photo’s to enlarge) the cassette with it’s screws ‘lose’ but not removed. Take ‘em ALL the way out and put ‘em someplace where you are not likely to bump ‘em off the table and into the carpet.. losing one of these is a pain in the butt!

 

 

DSCN5321.jpg

Now you get to take the cassette top off.. note the two alignment tab slots on the cassette bottom and the mating tabs on the top.. spread the cassette slightly there, then lift the top away. When it’s open, everything looks like this.

 

 

 

 

DSCN5324.jpg

Next, lift the pack out of the cassette bottom. The little circuit board just sits in a slot at the end of the cassette bottom, and it comes right out with the pack. On Futaba cassettes there’s often a double stick tape strip in the bottom of the case, use care prying it out; don’t crack the case and fer pete’s sake don’t short the pack with your screwdriver or your workshop will look like a ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’ re-run!

 

 

DSCN5325.jpg

Hard parts over.. now the soldering iron comes into play. Unsolder the wires from the little circuit board from the tabs on the old pack. Note that Red wire is always positive, even in JR cassettes. This, folks; is important so pay attention… you don’t wanna make smoke. Be sure you carefully unsolder the wires where they connect to the BATTERY, not the little circuit board.

 

DSCN5326.jpg

Now that the old pack is out, you can take a breath, admire your work and prepare to insert the new pack. Depending on who’s pack you are going to install, you’ll need to get it ready by identifying which terminal on the new pack is the positive one and marking it. Next; carefully remove the shrink jacket from the new pack and then finish prepping it by putting a bit of solder on the new packs solder tabs (if some is not already on them).

DSCN5327.jpg

Now, grab up your little circuit board and re-solder its wires to the tabs on your new pack.. and again; pay VERY close attention to the polarity, or your new name will be 'Sparky'. Often, replacement battery packs have their positive tab in a different ‘clock’ position than the old one. If in doubt, check the pack with a meter, but fer cripes sake DO NOT MESS THIS UP.. get the red wire on the positive tab!!

 

DSCN5329.jpg

Whew.. all down hill from here! Your sure you’ve soldered it up correctly (still not too late to check!!) and it’s time to drop the new pack into the cassette. Line up the circuit board in it’s slot and everything just tracks right into place.

 

 

 

DSCN5330.jpg

Well there it is, done deal. All that’s left now is getting the cassette back together. Line up the tabs on the top half with the slots on the bottom first, then close the cassette like you close a book. Watch the white nylon plug end of the circuit board, make sure it lines up nicely with the slot in the cassette top. When everything is right it just ‘clicks’ together. Don’t force it, it’ll all go together fine if yah hold yer tongue just right! *click* Wallah!!  Now you can run the screws home; set up your charger and get the topping charge going. Remember.. eneloop reload packs ship out with @ 75% charge in them, they do NOT require formatting. If peak charging, set the charge rate at EXACTLY 1 amp, NO HIGHER... and NO LOWER. Monitor the charge, if the charger 'misses' peak (or you are using a wall wart) the pack will become warm at the end of the charge... to avoid damaging the pack; ALWAYS.. SHUT THE CHARGE DOWN WHEN THE PACK WARMS UP! Congratulations on your successful surgery!

NiCad & NiMH Frequently Asked Questions

“If the plane matters.. the battery matters.”

 

We strongly believe in quality.. even where you can’t see it.  It's our policy to clearly label each pack and package with the details on whose cells are in your packs.. each and every pack comes with a pedigree. We'll never rejacket cells to disguise the origin or date codes. We use only the finest cells, welding equipment and production materials to assemble our packs and each and every one is equipped with our own mil-spec oversize nickel alloy intercell straps, triple welded on both sides for the most dependable and strong connection possible. Each cell is bedded with RTV to provide flexible protection from chaffing and shorts in a high vibration environment. Since we never use ‘hot glue’ to assemble our packs, you never need worry about the integrity of the battery pack in a high temperature environment. The over-gauge cabling is soldered to mil-spec standards and then strain relieved so there is no risk of tab separation when the connector gets a hard yank. Even the packs shrink finish is different.. we use the finest mil-spec 3M heat shrink finishing material for an incredibly strong, vibration resistant pack and then we terminal your pack with only the very best gold plated connector sets available.  Each and every step is completed here, in house, by expert modelers highly skilled in the craft of utterly dependable battery construction. This is quality you can count on.. and afford. We’re so confident we make the best pack you can buy at any price that we guarantee each and every pack for one full year.. something no other pack manufacturer in our price range could ever hope to do. Since we are modelers as well as battery specialists we know that getting the right pack may well be the most important equipment selection decision you make . We know exactly what you need! 

No Bull.. Just the best built batteries you can buy, anywhere.
