The Duralite 9C TX pack can be charged in the transmitter as it has a Stay Balance Charge Safe circuit which will balance the pack 24/7 and while it is charging. This will also ensure that it doesn't get over charged. If you choose to use a non Duralite charger make sure to set the number of cells to 3 or 11.1 volts. You will require a charge lead with a Futaba barrel type plug with the center pin as positive and the sleeve as negative. Using a TX barrel plug with the wrong polarity can cause damage to the balance circuit which will prevent future charging until it is repaired.

Because of the circuitry, the charge rate should not exceed 1 amp. The Fromeco Cube Basic charge rate is preset to 1.5 amps so it is not recommended for charging the Duralite TX pack. However the Fromeco Cube Deluxe has adjustable charge rates and can be used to charge the Duralite TX 9C pack safely in the radio with the correct polarity Futaba barrel plug.

You will need a lithium charger like a Duralite or another brand that has the ability to set the number of cells and a charge rate of no more than 1 amp. You will also require a charge lead that plugs into your radio from the charger you are going to be using. Make sure that the charge lead is for a Futaba radio and not a JR as the polarity are not the same.

Status: offline 		Hi RCPete2,

It is not recommend to charge Fromeco packs with our charger. Our charger was designed to work in conjunction with our Stay Balance Charge Safe circuitry that is built into our packs. The circuit tells the charger to terminate the charge cycle once the cells are balanced and the proper termination voltage is reached.
