GP Triton charger

From everything I have been reading about various questions and problems regarding the Triton, I am certainly glad I don't own one!

I believe Futaba finally eliminated the diode when they brought out the 9C. At least that's what I've heard. I can field charge my 9C just fine but not my 6XAS.

Jeboba,

My Triton can deliver only 2.5 amps where I need 4.5 or more. I didn't know much about chargers and bought the first one offered by the LHS. I believe the Triton is very good for what it can do, but now I'm in the process of replacing it.

I had to charge and charge again 4 to 5 times on my 1500 mAh, 11.1 V

3S Li Poly battery to get it up to voltage. If I was lucky, the battery may be charged on the first try.

Anyone in the market for a good charger and not need more than 2.5 amps?

How much shipped?

remove my-wife to reply :-)

icrashrc,

I tried to respond direct email to you about "How much shipped?", but I guess I don't know how to remove "my-wife" : )

My email address can be accessed directly from this thread. So if you would email directly, we may discuss how to get the Triton charger to you.

If you look at icrashrc's e-mail address, you will find said string of letters in his address.

Take out the offending letters, and the true address will be revealed.

Thanks, Marty. icrashrc has responded to my email. Since then I found out how to make my Triton charge my batteries to 12.60+ V.

Perhaps I could be of help if I described how this came about. I went to LHS where I bought it for help and they called Triton tech support. Their phone number is on the back of the manual. (217.398.0007)

In the course of discussion, the tech person asked me to set the time limit to at least 100 minutes. It was set on no time limit before. That is, it was set on zero time so the charger was timing out.

Then someone else at the shop reset the turn off emperature to about

10º over the ambient temperature, that's the temperature of the location where the charging takes place.

Now the Triton is working as it should.

I hope this could help.

Great information, Wan.

Thanks for passing it on!

I wonder if anyone has helped resolve Dino's problems with his charger?

That's the kind of post I like to see. John
