Smart charging using the Futaba CR-2000

The Futaba CR-2000 DC Peak Charger gives RC hobbyists a safe way to charge NiCD and NiMH batteries, using delta-peak detection and an automatic stop to prevent overcharge.

Monitor voltage and charge info

The built-in LCD presents input and output voltages, charge current, detected peak voltage, charge duration, and the quantity of charge applied. This lets you keep a close eye on each charging session.

Cables and connection options supplied

Pack contents include a 12V charger with cigarette lighter plug, alligator clips, a 28" transmitter lead, and two receiver adapter cords at 20" and 80", making it easy to connect radios and small packs at the pits or workshop.

Power input guidelines

Operation requires an 11-15V DC power source capable of delivering at least 6A to meet the charger's current demands and ensure stable operation.

Whether at the track or on the bench, the Futaba CR-2000 DC Peak Charger offers a straightforward, monitored solution for NiCD and NiMH charging needs.

Charge time varies with capacity and current. Using the appropriate Tx or Rx current listed in the specs, you can estimate time by dividing pack mAh by the chosen charge current (adjust for inefficiency).
The CR-2000 provides trickle charging rates; still, monitor new or ageing packs rather than leaving them unattended for long periods to ensure safety and pack health.
The supplied leads cover common TX and RX connections. For unusual connectors you may need an adapter lead or to swap in connectors that match your gear.
Keep vents clear, inspect leads for wear, and store the unit dry. Regular visual checks help ensure long service life.
