<DIV>I just had my 12Z serviced using the non-expedited
shipping method and I had it back a little over
a week after I sent it in. I'm in the USA
however.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I fast charge Ni packs inside the Tx all the time using a
Sirius charger. For overnight / slow charging I use
either a plug-in wall-wart type of charger (like the one
that came with the radio) or my Litco Alpha-4. I don't know if
the Triton is really intended for slow charging (C/10) but if
you did in fact have it set for C/10 I don't know why it
would have melted the pack. You can usually leave a battery on
slow charge for 15-20 hours and it's not even warm when you're
finished charging. </DIV>

I just finished extracting a melted battery cartridge out of my 9Z
transmitter.
I put the NiCad battery on charge last night with my trusty Triton set at .2
A as I have done many times before. (Pack was still inside the transmitter)
A while later I went to check the charge progress and noticed a burning
smell and the charger had stopped chargeing.
The plastic case was fused to the internal battery compartment.
Needless to say that will have been the last time I charge a pack inside the
transmitter.
What is the usual turnaround time for the Futaba Repair Center? How do you
usually ship transmitters? What do you include?
I have to ship from Canada
I'm still a little shocked as this is the first time something like this
has
happend to me in 30 years of flying.
Walter
