Peak-detection DC charger for radio packs

The Futaba CR-2000 is an RC-scale DC peak charger and battery checker designed for NiCd and NiMH transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) packs and single-cell glow plug starters. It combines peak-detection cutoff, an LCD that shows input/output voltages, charge current, peak voltage, charge time and charge amount, plus an audio alert to indicate charge completion or fault conditions.

The unit supports simultaneous TX and RX charging and provides selectable charging currents for common pack sizes used in model radio systems. The charger requires an external DC power source rated 11-16V with at least 6A output capacity. It is intended for bench or field use with model equipment and should not be used on full-size vehicles.

Operational notes and handling: connect polarity correctly, avoid short circuits, and do not charge radio transmitter packs and glow starter packs at the same time. Perform charging within the specified temperature window to protect cells, and keep the charger out of direct sunlight during use.

  • One Futaba 12V Battery Charger with cigarette lighter adapter and alligator clips
  • 28" (711mm) transmitter charge cord
  • 20" (508mm) receiver charge adapter cord
  • 80" (2032mm) receiver charge adapter cord

The Futaba CR-2000 is a practical bench/field charger for model radio packs where straightforward peak-detection charging and a clear LCD readout are required; follow the stated input supply and safety guidance when integrating it into your transmitter and receiver maintenance workflow.

What battery chemistries are compatible with the CR-2000?

The CR-2000 is designed for NiCd and NiMH cells only; it should not be used with LiPo or other chemistries to avoid unsafe charging conditions.

Can I charge both transmitter and receiver packs at once?

Yes. The unit provides separate channels so TX and RX packs can be charged at the same time, with independent current settings for each channel.

What DC input is required to power this charger?

Use an 11-16V DC supply capable of 6A or more; the HCAP0250 or an equivalent source meets the stated requirement.

Are there any special safety notes I should follow?

Always observe correct polarity, avoid short circuits, charge only within 5-40°C, and do not charge radio packs and glow starter packs at the same time.
