Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2007Battery Question (Slightly off topic)
I lost my charger for a digital camera. The battery is a 3.6V LI-ION 650 mA. I have my trusted Triton, and that can charge most anything. But the question is this: on the battery and the charger, there is a third connector. Its between the "+" and "-" pole and is labeled "T". I've seen this on a lot of products but I have yet to find an article about what that is for. Would just using the triton on the plus and minus be sufficient or is the third connection for something important like balancing or something? Would it degrade my battery to use the Triton?

That third terminal is usually involved in the camera electronics or the charger electronics, but our chargers have the correct algorithm for these packs so these terminals play no role in charging.

They don't want the battery to blow up in the charger or be damaged by overcharging. Ignore it, just use the X and - connections on your charger. Be sure to set your voltage cutoff and no less than 2.8-3.0 volts if that is an option. >I lost my charger for a digital camera. The battery is a 3.6V LI-ION 650 >mA.
