New Featherweight Dual Battery Charger

[Adrian A]

New custom Featherweight battery chargers just arrived:


It's a dual charger that will charge a tracker battery and an altimeter battery at the same time. It's a convenient way to top off your Featherweight batteries at home, in the field, or on your rocket. I designed it with an on-rocket installation in mind:

• Small size, 0.7" x 0.92" (about the size of a postage stamp
• Arranged so the USB input connector can be on the outside edge of a sled while the battery connectors face toward the inside
• The Raven and Tracker batteries each have 2 through-hole pads to connect wires to the Raven or Tracker without ever needing to disconnect the battery.
• One mounting hole for #4 or M3 screw

Each battery has its own status LED. Orange for has power, no battery connected, red for battery is getting charged, and green for good-to-go! In the photo above, the tracker battery is still charging and the altimeter battery is done.
