Battery installation for Bachmann Dash 9 with Railpro

Rechargeable battery installation in a Bachmann Dash 9. This is a follow up video from the Railpro installation. With a flip of a switch, you can have a battery or track powered locomotive

Battery should be standard on G scale trains now since track on the outside has so many issues when it comes to cleaning.

@@fearlessmtb Thank you again. I went o RLD hobbies, they have a flat [HJE 5S2PF] and a non-flat battery [HJE 5S2P(5+5)] is it the flat one that you used? thanks so much again and happy railroading!

[@fearlessmtb]

The one I used was the (5+5) variation

[@alexdabomb27]

That is the biggest Bachman I’ve ever seen (is that g?)

[@fearlessmtb]

@@alexdabomb27 it sure is. 1:29 scale

I know this is unrelated to the topic, but what do you do with the rails when it rains?

[@fearlessmtb]

I use stainless steel track from Sunset Valley Railroad. They stay outside all year (rain, snow, wind, heat) with no problems

How long does the battery last? I assume it takes about 30 - 60 minutes to charge.

[@fearlessmtb]

I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I’ve been able to run my locomotives for over 3 hours on 1 charge (pulling 30-40 cars)

@@fearlessmtb o that's plenty of charge! I think I'm definitely making the switch to batteries.
