Lithium Battery Pack And Smart Charger
CVP's Recommended AIRWIRE Battery for All Installations
|
We searched high and low for a suitable battery along with a matching charger at an affordable price.
While you are not required to use our recommended battery pack and charger, the ones we recommend and sell offer the best compromise among many factors such as safety, power, size, weight, voltage, motor noise and lifetime.
Lithium-Ion Chemistry - Our battery pack is designed and manufactured by the Li-ion battery experts at Tenergy Corporation.
Li-ion offers high energy density, light weight and easy charging.
Lithium batteries do not suffer from the memory effect and have a longer storage life than NiMH.
14.8V at 4400mA-hr - This voltage is the best option for long range radio operation.
Higher voltage causes much more interference to be generated by locomotive motors which can impair distant radio operation.
Fully Protected - The battery pack includes an internal controller that prevents the battery pack from being over charge and over discharge which prolongs the battery lifetime.
Easy Connection - A pair of 6 inch wires offer easy connection to terminal strips or connectors.
Drop-In decoders include a matching connector for simple plug in to the Drop-In decoder.
Small Size - The battery dimensions are 2.7” x 2.8” x 1.4”. It weighs about 12 ounces.

The Li-Ion Smart Charger
The matching smart charger works off any household line voltage from 90 to 240V 50/60Hz.
The line cord is included.
It features a 500mA constant charging current for fast and safe charging.
Fast Charging - The Smart Charger can charge a completely discharged pack in only a few hours.
Feel free to leave the charger plugged in since the built in microprocessor will automatically cut off power when the battery is fully charged.
Indicator Status Lights Included - The indicator lights show red when charging and green with the battery is fully charged.
Included with the charger are a pair of spare fuses along with the appropriate connectors.
Small Size - Measuring only 1.5 x 1 x 4 inches and weighing less than 5 ounces, it fits nearly anywhere.
Low Cost - This amazing little charger is priced so low that you should plan on each of your locomotives having their own charger.

A Tip From The Pro
Higher amp-hour capacity batteries may be used although as capacity goes up, so does the price, the size, the weight and the need for a specialized charger. If these factors are less important than battery life, by all means use the higher capacity batteries.
Be sure to obtain a matching charger and for the best radio range, stay with the 14.8V rating.
