does anybody know how to operate it and what the capabilites of it are.
The thing is i have one got it when my brother in law gave us a bunch of cars trucks and parts (nitro and electric) abvout 14 in all and i'm trying to figure out the electric ones.don't know what models or makers i know one is a cheaper tamiya rover mini cooper. but the most are or where kinda pricey . i know this because of who they came from.

Got a manual for it, if you have adobe, just download and open. If not, I can copy/paste it in a .txt doc and put it on my ftp server for you.

I have that charger and really like it. I use it for all my recharging needs, RC and otherwise. It does a nice job of peak'ing out cells. I use it for receiver packs, cordless drill, AA's for my camera, glow heater, transmitters and aaa's in my micro-t. Just a good all around charger.

I have read that it overheats and there are mods you can do to avoid that issue. I've never had mine overheat, but I've only charged a 7.2V stick pack a few times with it. I do charge my receiver/xmitter/heater back to back to back though without any cool down time. I think it's because I don't charge at more than 1A. I usually charge at .5A since AA's and 2/3A cells seem to hold a longer charge that way.

I put them in a typical AA holder. I have a Tamiya -> 3-prong receiver converter plug. I put 4 AA's in one of those cheapy AA holders that come with many radios and charge them. I took one of those holders and modified it so I can charge just two as well. I use the venom glowplug adapter to charge my heaters.

You have the Deans connector, which is a good high current connector that lets you charge at a higher rate without melting the connectors.

Since I use mine for max of 2A (my cordless drill), I don't need to really upgrade the connector.

what do you mean heater?do you mean glow ignighters if so i just use the c or d cell . and could you tell me how you use the battery holders to charge?

I don't make them. They came with transmitters and trucks I've bought over the years. Those underlined items are links to all of the stuff.

I take the tamiya->receiver adapter, plug it into my charger. I put 4 AA's in the holder, then plug the holder into the adapter on the charger.

Then I adjust charge rate to 1A (or .5A usually), then I hit the Start button and let it do it's thing.
