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).
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.
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.
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.
