SkyRC Type35N: Charging Your Relics with Modern Magic

Look, we get it. You have a drawer full of NiMH packs that haven’t seen the sun since the last time a UK summer actually felt like summer. You’re probably looking at this because your old wall-wart charger finally gave up the ghost or started making a high-pitched screaming noise that upset the dog. Enter the Type35N: the charger that treats your 4-8S NiMH batteries with the respect they deserve, powered by the same USB-C cable you use to charge your phone (or your vape, we don’t judge).

Why You Want It

Most chargers these days treat NiMH like the FPV equivalent of a floppy disk. The SkyRC Type35N, however, embraces the vintage life. It takes a Power Delivery (PD) input, meaning you can ditch the heavy power bricks and use a modern PD adapter. Its small, its sleek, and it won’t try to charge your LiPobecause it can’t. Its a specialist tool for your specialized (read: old school) needs.

Specs

  • Battery types: NiMH and NiCd only; not LiPo, LiHV or LiFe.
  • Cell count: 48 cells. Check your pack before plugging in.
  • Input: USB-C PD 3.0, 920V. A standard 5V USB port is not a suitable supply.
  • Charging power: Up to 35W.
  • Charging current: Selectable 1A / 2A / 3A, subject to input supply and output power limits.
  • Charge termination: V, 6mV per cell.
  • Battery connector: Deans-style T-Plug, manufacturer variant SK-100234-02.
  • Dimensions: 84 48 22mm.
  • Charger weight: Approximately 53g, excluding packaging.

Power and connection

Use a suitable USB-C PD source and cable, and connect a supported nickel-based battery with the matching T-Plug. Optional Tamiya adapters are sold separately. This USB-C-powered charger does not take a cloverleaf or figure-eight mains lead.

Compatibility

Supports compatible 48-cell NiMH and NiCd packs using the T-Plug connection. Match the selected current to the battery manufacturer’s limits and use a suitable USB-C PD power source. If you try to plug this into a standard 5V USB port, the charger will just stare back at you in disappointment.

Highlights

  • PD Powered: Finally, a reason to own that 65W GaN charger.
  • One-Button Logic: Even your mate who constantly breaks props can figure this one out.
  • Status LEDs: Pretty lights that tell you when its time to go fly/drive/whatever it is you do with NiMH.
