On-board battery charging

[tom_tom_go]

Hi,

On a live steam loco where the battery is only used to control servo's can I simply add an additional socket on the wires that link the battery to the receiver so that I may charge a battery pack?

Cheers!

Tom

You can, but you are better off with a charge lead switch harness which will only allow connection to charging when the switch is in the off position. I think this is what you mean?

Thanks Steve that's exactly what I need although I found it cheaper here:
