I have left my home to go live with the family for Christmas. I forgot to bring the charger for the Futaba 14SG battery. A friend has a "computer charger" called Thor. It has a plug that fit the futaba battery so I guess I can charge it.
My problem is that I cant find details on how to set up the charging. Here is the link for the battery: http://www.wowhobbies.com/ht5f18 ... ittersfutm1482.aspx

I dont have any experience charging NiMH batteries with a charger like this. Here is the charger. : http://rcbutikken.no/produkter/b ... rger-bluetooth.aspx

Anyone got any experience?

Hi, if you switch to Lithium battery for the 14SG ( original football battery), and use a third party charger, make sure not to charge over 200 or 300 mAH current, or the protection circuit of the battery will stop the charging ( you will have a " connection break" message on the charger).

BEst regards,

Fabien

Hi
Thanks. Yes I sent a support mail to Futaba and this was the battery that came with it. They gave me this advice it just took a few days before I heard from them but got the mail right after I posted this. I linked the battery just to show what it was in case someone knew about the battery but not the Futaba.

Thanks for your reply and great that it stand here for others if needed. :-)
