Battery Operation

[Anonymous]

Thank you for the reply. I have an 18 volt ryobi drill and charger, along with a couple extra batteries, they last longer if they are used often so thought it would be a good way to keep them fresh. Doesn't seem as if it would be too hard to put the battery on a seperate car and wire it to the Loco.. Don't know a lot, just learning about the wiring and how they work but think this may work OK if I research it and work it out right.

I have been using Ryobi 14.2 volt batteries with a cut-down charger as mount and connection but using a commercial in-train controlboard/receiver with its hand transmitter from RCS. The battery weight is not much more than the two remote control car batteries I usually use. I would suggest rigging the throttle will be the hardest task. The RCS solid state board is neat and efficient and I have several set to different frequencies or dip settings so several locos can be controlled at the same time. Way to go.

Just wondering what everyone thought about using a Ryobi 18 Volt Battery, making a mount for it on a seperate car and the rigging a throttle for my RC aircraft control box.
