Hello Everyone,
When I got my KHR-2 from RT corp in Tokyo they also gave me a Kyosho Manoi Delta Peak Fast Charger. I didn't ask how to use it at the time because for some reason I assumed I would know.
....guess what. I don't
I'm not sure what setting to have it on. And although there is a start button, I don't know whether that implies it has an internal timer which will shut it off, or do I have to do that myself? If so, how long does it need.
I thought about turning it on with no battery connected and pressing the start button, but Im not educated well enough to know whether I should do that. Wouldn't that create a load of somekind...
The battery is;
10.8v 300mAh
I have a picture but im not sure how to attach it. There is basically a start button with three LED's above it - Power - Slow - Fast
There is one dial for the Amps which goes up .5A at a time from 0 - 5.0

Hi,
The connectors on the back are for a 12V INPUT
This means that the charger can be run from a 12V battery, or as I did, a powerful 240v - 12V converter.
I played with the current settings and selected about 2 amp charging current .
Just press the button then it will quick charge to a certain level and then slow down and continue to trickle charge.
If you find the battery getting very hot during charging, lower the current settings until you find a happy level.
Good luck.

Thanks Orac.
It's funny. I plan on getting a bench top power supply so that I can get on with programing the little fella, but when i mentioned it to my brother he decided that it would be the ideal christmas present for me from my 2 year old nephew(+mum and dad). So now I'm stuck with my crappy stock battery for 5 weeks...
Thanks again!
