FrSky X18 Transmitter Battery Charging

[rwtdiver]

The battery is beefy, so it will charge very slowly off a computer. If you grab a 5V charging adapter off of Amazon or wherever, you can get it charging at up to something like 3A, which would be exponentially faster.

Thanks for the input, Bob.

I have always preferred to charge all my batteries on the slower side. No need for fast charging in my world.

Rob, the linked USB to USB-C will work, that's how I charge mine, no charging system needed

WOW! Thank you very much Bruce.

You just made my day. I now have the two important things solved as to how to charge the transmitter and how to reverse the throttle stick I will be using my transmitter for my shark using the right and left sticks (Channel 1 and channel 3) and basically manually operating the shark.

Thank you again Bruce, I do appreciate you responding to my question.

I have a question about charging the battery to my FrSky X18 Transmitter.



This is the transmitter in question. All the information that I have gathered up states that I can use a UBS to a USB c Cable like the one below.

Amazon.com: etguuds USB to USB C Cable 3ft, 2-Pack USB A to Type C Charger Cord Fast Charging for Samsung Galaxy A15 A25 A35 A55 A54, S24 S23 S22 S21 S20 S10 S10E, Note 20 10, Moto G, for iPhone 16 15, Blue : Electronics

My understanding is I can plug this into my computer tower USB port and then plug the USB type C plug into the Transmitter for charging.

For those of you using the X18 Transmitter I am going about this the correct way. The new X18 that I purchased from Nautilus Drydocks did not come with a charging system of any kind.
.
Any help with this question would be appreciated. Thank you,
