Electrifly: AC & DC chargers

Model Airplane News, Aug 2003

Great Planes has introduced two new peak chargers for backyard electrics: the ElectriFly AC Park Flyer and the ElectriFly Peak 400 DC. The AC is an affordable wall charger for home use. It charges 1 to 8 Ni-Cd or NiMH cells at a current that's adjustable from 200 to 800mA. It uses the standard JST-type 2-pin connector found on many park flyers and can be plugged into any standard 110V household outlet.

The Peak 400 DC is designed for field use and can handle 1 to 10 cells at one of three current settings: 0.5 amp, 1.2 and 2.5 amps. It also has three corresponding trickle-charge rates of 40, 60 and 100mA. It's light and compact, and it features standard Tamiya connectors. The chargers each cost $33.99.
