Material In Use

MWB HC-18650 & 21700 Battery-Packs are manufactured with the highest rated Lithium-Ion cells on the market today. MWB designs and build our own BMS / PCB's that prevents the pack from over-discharging and over-charging. Each pack is welded with .375 Nickel Tabs for the best overall contact between cells, and are tested for high rated charging cycles along with high ambient temperatures. Our standard connector is the 22 gauge 2-Pin JST SM Connector that can be change depending on your needs.

The RailCharger was designed to give train enthusiasts the ability to charge and operate your battery-powered engine right from the interior of your locomotive.  One of the best features of the RailCharger is its ability to charge multiple battery chemistries (NiCd, Nimh, Lithium-Ion, Polymer & Prismatic) all from one charger.  With preset dip-switches, your installer will select the voltage and chemistry of your battery-pack prior to the finished installation.

Extension:  The RailCharger comes with several internal extensions that can be plugged into the screw terminals on the PCB and extended for mounting on the locomotive for external use.

This is very important:  You must select the correct Dip-Switch that corresponds to your batteries voltage & chemistry, selecting the wrong dip-switch (ie: 18V Nickel battery, and 18.5V lithium battery) will cause damage to your battery.  Only turn on one dip-switch on at a time.

Lithium Battery Warning:  When charging your lithium batteries you should always remain inconstant observation to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems if they occur.  Never charge a lithium battery-pack with a non-specified charger.  Never charge a lithium battery-pack with a nickel charger.  A lithium battery-pack always charges “Cold.”  If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon, swell-up, smoke or get hot, discontinue the charging process immediately, disconnect the battery from the charger and observe it in a safe place outside of your home, garage, or building.
