The Great Planes 7.2v 650 mAh NiMH (nickel-metal hydride)
battery (GPMP0068) is recommended. It is the correct size
and shape to fit in the battery holder on the Yard Stik.
The best type of charger to use is a peak charger, because
it charges the batteries until they are fully charged, then
automatically switches to a trickle charge mode. The Great
Planes ElectriFly Peak Charger (GPMM3000) is suitable for
charging the nickel-metal hydride battery recommended for
the Yard Stik.
To figure out how long it will take to charge the battery, divide
its capacity (in mAh) by the charge rate being used. If fully
discharged, the 650 mAh battery recommended for the Yard
Stik, charged at a rate of 600 mAh (by the ElectriFly Peak
Charger), will take about 65 minutes to charge (650 divided
by 600 times 60 minutes = 65). Note: It is not recommended
to charge the battery at a rate any higher than two times its
rated capacity.
IMPORTANT: Monitor the temperature of the battery frequently.
If the battery becomes warm, disconnect it from the charger.

building supplies and hobby tools, following is a list of the
