Transmitter Batterie Pack !!!!!

[R6 DADDY]

Hi folk i was thinking of buying a battery pack for my for my futaba megatech transmitter but i notice they are all 9.6 v yet the voltage when added together of batteries is 12v will the packs work ok or not the hump packs re 6v which is the same any ideas people ?????
:duel:

rechargeable batterys produce 1.2v per cell. dry cells produce 1.5v. this should clear it up for you

[R6 DADDY]

yeah i am aware of that but are they okay to use even though they are only 9.6v ???

[ACE]

Yes they are okay to use most transmitters come with 9.5v battery packs. The only differance between using 12v and 9.6v is that 9,6v have slightly less range than 12v.

oh i see do they last similar or do they run out quickly

i know not alot with batteries, but my 6v hump pack puts out more than 6v fully charged, even tho 5 cells hold 1.2v...

[R6 DADDY]

yeah its weird stuff batteries thats why i like nitro

anyone actually confirmed the difference in range between 9.6v & 12v or are we just assuming?

My 8 '1.2v' cells in my TX are above 10v for most of their discharge, 1.2v printed on the side of the cells does not really mean alot.

yeah i think rechargables are a lot better than they used to be but that sounds pretty impressive

my 8 1.2v cells in my dx3 will be just over 11v after a charge, but will discharge down to 10-10.5v fairly quick, but then hover around there.

I have the same experience as you bud.

My Spekky shows 10.2v with Vapextech 1.2v 2400mah batterys.

I dont think the range will be much different if any at all.

Rechargeables tend to hold their voltage a lot longer than normal
batteries i believe which is why you get more run time with a 6v
hump pack as opposed to 4 x 1.5v disposables.

cool snoop thanks for the info the batts in my tranny go flat quickly and cost a pretty penny so i may get a rechargeable
