Features

Hobbico® QuickPeak TX/RX DC Field Charger

The QuickPeak Charger is compact, convenient, powerful, affordable...and so easy to use, it’s almost automatic!

The face plate features color-coded jacks for charge leads with banana plugs, with an “8-cell/Off/4-cell” selector switch (QuickPeak charges one battery at a time).

The DC power lead comes with alligator clips for easy connection to most 12V power sources — includes banana plugs for use as charge leads.

A green LED assures that power is on; a red LED glows steadily during fast charge, and flashes after the QuickPeak switches to trickle charge.

The common spade fuse for protecting against accidental overloads is easily accessible on top of the unit.

Input and output are reverse-polarity protected.

Small in size and price...BIG in value and convenience!

For charging duties at home or at the field, nothing matches the price or convenience of Hobbico’s new QuickPeak Charger. This pocket-sized unit works from a car cigarette lighter, Hobbico TorqMaster LC 12V battery — most any 12V DC power source — to deliver fast, deep, safe charging of a 4-cell Rx or 8-cell Tx NiCd in as little as 25 minutes. Even though it’s compact in size, the QuickPeak packs approximately 800 mA of quick-charging current, and it has the added bonus of peak detection, to assure your battery will become fully charged, and eliminate any chance of battery damage due to over-charging. It’s everything an airplane or heli modeler could want in a compact, economical, easy-to-use charger!

As an added convenience, a handy Trouble Shooting Guide on the back of the QuickPeak Charger describes the symptoms and causes of the most common charging problems, as well as the appropriate course of action.
