Recever Questions
Hi every one this is my first time owning a rc so i recently bought a pistol system, i have a Hitec aggressor and it uses 8 AA batteries, so i put energizer's rechargeable batteries(NiMh). and i bought a overnight charger for my Hitec and it says HiCd charger.[X(] sooo would it be okay if i charged the batteries with the overnight charger i bought or should i charge the batteries on a rechargeable dock that is compatible with both?

RE: Recever Questions
You should look into one of those NiMh battery packs.
Since I don't know exactly what model you have I can only give you this link as an idea --> http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFRT6&P=7

RE: Recever Questions
With the energizer batteries you should use a separate charger, not the one that plugs into the Radio. Read the radio manual, but I'm thinking you can't charge a regular AA battery through the radios charge jack. That jack is typically used to charge batteries such as the one linked to above. They typically aren't charged through the contacts for regular AA's but through the lead you see on that pack.

Well it says it only uses aa batteries and it says only use nicd or nimh or alkaline(i know this is not rechargeable) batteries and theres no batterie pack for this one. And then it tells me to connect the hitech CG-25 overnight charger to the charging jack located under the switch to charge. My recever is a 3 ch aggressor fm.
and then it gives me the estimated time on how long the batteries will charge.
-nicad 12-16 hours
-nimh 24-36 hours
Thanks for helping you guys im just worried the batteries will explode when it charges.

RE: Recever Questions
I downloaded the manual. You may be able to charge it that way. Does your Radio have the removable battery tray?(not just the cover) Some manuals are for multiple models so check that first. Otherwise as long as they are rechargeable you should have no problem.
