Hello all,
While wandering about the 'net looking at hardwire installation ideas
(how I wish I had a loco with a 9 pin plug in it already!) I came across
this which I thought might interest some.
http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?34308-Railpro-Start-UP-W-Pics/page2
On the second page, which the link points to there is a couple of
photo's showing the HC-2 opened up, which shows the rechargeable
batteries. They are nothing short of AA size in a clip so that means
you do not have to send it back them them like they say to change the
batteries.
Now, back to thinking of ways to shoehorn these modules in......
Best to you all,

Tim,
I had seen this too a while ago. I never had the guts to open up my unit (HC-1) because I'm mostly clueless when it comes to electronics. I didn't want to take the risk of destroying something.
So question for all you electronic whizzes out there: would it be possible to change out the batteries for ones with a higher mAh rating? Would that allow longer use time? Would the unit be able to recognize the capacity of the batteries and therefore display the correct battery status information on the screen?
Just questions out of curiosity. My HC-1 doesn't have quite the batteries that the HC-2 has, and I've been curious to see if they could be upgraded. The current charge is more than sufficient for my needs, but a little more never hurts!

Longer battery life would be nice on the HC-2 also ;)

When I've been running, I seem to be able to use the HC for a very long time. Usually I run for 30-45 minutes at a time a couple times a week, and I charge the HC once every other week. It's when I'm updating or installing large files (prime movers) that my battery life gets wrecked! How is it on the HC-2?

I ran from a full charge to almost empty in one session lasting just shy of 4 hours. Screen brightness set to 15%. The HC-2 probably would have made the full 4 hours and more but I didn't want to run until it died.
