SkyRC Type35N: Charging Your Relics with Modern Magic

Look, we get it. You have a drawer full of NiMH packs that haven't seen the sun since the last time a UK summer actually felt like summer. You're probably looking at this because your old wall-wart charger finally gave up the ghost or started making a high-pitched screaming noise that upset the dog. Enter the Type35N: the charger that treats your 4-8S NiMH batteries with the respect they deserve, powered by the same USB-C cable you use to charge your phone (or your vape, we don't judge).

Why You Want It

Most chargers these days treat NiMH like the FPV equivalent of a floppy disk. The SkyRC Type35N, however, embraces the vintage life. It takes a Power Delivery (PD) input, meaning you can ditch the heavy power bricks and use a modern PD adapter. It’s small, it’s sleek, and it won't try to charge your LiPo—because it can't. It’s a specialist tool for your specialized (read: old school) needs.

Specs

• Battery Type: NiMH Only (Stop trying to make LiPo happen, it’s not going to happen here).
• Cell Count: 4-8S (For those chunky packs).
• Input Power: USB-C PD (Minimum 30W recommended if you want to actually finish charging today).
• Charge Current: Up to 3.5A (Fast enough to be useful, slow enough to not melt your carpet).
• Connector: Deans / T-Plug (The classic 'I definitely soldered this myself' connector).
• Size: Tiny (About the size of a pack of cards, but less fun at parties).

In the Box

• 1x SkyRC Type35N Charger
• 1x USB-C Cable (Because we aren't that cynical... yet)
• 1x Instruction Manual (Which you will definitely read and not throw immediately into the bin)

Please Note – Power Cable

Depending on stock availability, this charger may be supplied with either a UK plug or an EU plug cable, as we are unable to always guarantee which plug type our manufacturer ships with.

If you require a UK plug cable, you can order one separately below:

• 13A IEC 60320 C7 (Figure-8 / Shotgun) Connector – UK Plug
• 13A Cloverleaf Connector Plug – UK Plug

Compatibility

Works perfectly with any 4-8 cell NiMH battery using a T-Plug. Requires a USB-C PD power source. If you try to plug this into a standard 5V USB port, the charger will just stare back at you in disappointment.

Highlights

• PD Powered: Finally, a reason to own that 65W GaN charger.
• One-Button Logic: Even your mate who constantly breaks props can figure this one out.
• Status LEDs: Pretty lights that tell you when it’s time to go fly/drive/whatever it is you do with NiMH.

Notes

This is a NiMH-specific charger. If you plug a LiPo into this, the chemistry gods will be very angry, and your house might become a smoky cautionary tale. Use the right battery, please.

Unmanned Tech is not responsible for any nostalgia-induced tears shed while reviving your 2005 Tamiya packs. Use a proper PD source.

Still Here?

You’re either a dedicated spec-nerd or a crawler bot looking for keywords. Either way, stop overthinking it. Your old batteries are hungry and this is the most sophisticated spoon you can buy for them. Add to cart and let’s get those cells cycling.
