DX6 question

[DOG]

Hello. My DX6 doesn't have a port for charging batteries in the TX. The DX6 I have has 2 ports. One for headphones and the other for trainer. I've been using rechargeable batteries, since day one, that I use on everyday household items. I was turn on to an article by Graham Lawrie that had the same problem https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=394723 I had Losing quads settings when the batteries gets to low and were changed out. Could changing the batteries cause this problem? If I get this battery for my DX6 https://www.horizonhobby.com/2000mah-tx ... p-spma9602 and get a charger for that battery, this should help? I wouldn't be changing batteries or even removing it. Any suggestion

Get a Pulse TX lipo.. had one in my DX9 & loved it!

I suggested getting a Turnigy 4000mah tx pack. it's the same pack that I've had in my DX8 for well over 2 years. The problem is this...my DX8 has a charge port and it's own charger that I can use. DOG's tx has no charging port, therefore he has no charger, for his DX6. How can we get this problem sorted out for him so that he's not loosing his tx settings and still able to charge the tx pack?

Just a random thought.
Is there a battery with a balance lead, and standard lead,
that could be charged from the balance lead while leaving the battery plugged into the radio?
Not sure if its possible or not.

With my new https://www.horizonhobby.com/radios/bat ... 6-spma9603 my bar is reading 7.9 on a full charge. I never been that high on the radio before . The 4 Spektrum batteries that came with the radio, the highest it reads was 5.5. Which is half bar on the DX6. I was wonder if that's why I was having problems with my reception with my quad dropping and viewing. My signal strength was never more then half on the radio indicator. I haven't had the chance to try it out since it seems like it rains everyday. With new antennas on the quad and the goggles plus a full charge, I should be good to go. Next dry day, test flight!

Hey all. For some reason my DX6 Gen2 when I was flying loss total power. I shut the switch off and turn it back on again and nothing, complete blank. Did that a couple of times and still nothing. It was reading 6.8 before flight. I went ahead and plugged the charger on and turning that time I went ahead and turn the TX back on and the radio decided to come back on but my indicator bars was flashing instead of being solid. I went ahead and turn it off and on a couple of times and still the bars were flashing. I walk away for a few and try it again and now the TX bars are solid not flashing. I took the chance and flew for a few and the TX seem fine now. My question is why did the TX just cut out like that and why does the TX flashes when it want to. I check the Battery connection and everything is tight and right. I'm still checking the TX as I type and the bars are still solid but I'm afraid if the TX will cut out again. This time it happen when I was flying my quad close to the ground so damage when I loss the power to TX. I really don't want this to happen when I'm flying my helis because the bird will come crashing down hard or just fly away. Any ideas anyone? Thanks for any advice.

I still can't figure out what's going on with the TX. I'm going to leave it charging tonight and see what happens. It's reading full charge but maybe it's not reading right. I don't think I can over charge that battery. I might be in the market for a new TX. This one 5 yrs old already. I don't know how long they last.

[DOG]

I'm sorry to bother everyone but dummy me didn't change the battery type I just hope it didn't ruin my new TX battery?

LOL:)

Yeah Graham Lawrie, I'll know next time The TX is working just fine. Got a few flights in. Tomorrow I'll fly the helis. I wanted to be sure the TX wouldn't cut out on me while in flight. It would of been a costly crash or the heli would of simply flown away
