How do I convert my Hitec receiver switch for use with a charging plug in my plane?
Open up the switch. Melt out all the solder joints. If any of the terminals are bridged melt them out too. (I simply cut them out with a Dremel cutting disc) Solder the battery input wires to the centre terminals, the charger plug wires to the “off” end terminals and the wires from the RX to the “on” terminals. That’s it. Now when the switch is in the Off position it will allow power to flow to the battery from the charger, but when the switch is On it connects the battery to the RX whilst shutting off any connection to the charger. Don’t forget, all the Positive terminals are on one side of the switch and all negatives on the other.
