CAN I CHARGE AND CYCLE RAYOVAC RENEWAL CELLS ON THE ALPHA4?
These cells must be charged individually and not in packs. Also they require different cutoff voltage than either nicads or wet and gel cells. Their internal resistance is much higher than nicads. The short circuit current of individual cells is about 6 to 8 Amps and rapidly drops with each recharge. The short circuit current of nicads of equivalent size is several times higher and is approximately constant over hundreds of cycles. For this reason the Renewal cells are not recommended for higher current drain applications. In RC applications they might be OK for TX’s but marginal for RX packs. The airborne pack has potentially a drain of about 1000 mA per stalled servo plus small RX drain. (servo at rest has very small current drain, while servo actuating nonbinding load might have a drain of about 100 to 300 mA). A positive feature of these batteries is very small self discharge current and high capacity when new and when lightly loaded. We felt that it was not worthwhile to include s
