RC-Hangout

Hey guys... I need to move my Trooper back to the driveway beside the house... Got a dead battery tho... Anyone ever used or know how to use my charging rig(iCharger 306B) to charge a car battery? I know I've read that u can somewhere... Can't find the info tho. Any ideas to the joint RC/automotive usage of the charger?

There should be a lead acid setting (Pb might be the name they use, being the chemical symbol for lead). Just use it like any other setting for charging. I'd use 1 or 2A as the charge rate for a slow charge or 10A for a fast charge. Other option you can set the charger up for regenerative discharge and hook the car battery up to the input side of the charger and then discharge a couple/few big packs, the electrons will flow into the car battery instead of being dissipated by the charger as heat. Given you say the car battery is dead, I'd probably opt for a normal charge since it would take a bunch of flight packs to regen charge the battery.
