MPI LED Charge Switch – JR/Hitec, 4.8V/6.0V (5470)
Couldn't load pickup availability
MPI LED Receiver Charge Switch – JR/Hitec/Airtronics Z
The MPI 5470 combines a heavy-duty receiver power switch, an external charging port, and a three-LED onboard battery monitor in one airframe-mounted assembly. It is designed for RC receiver systems using JR/Hitec/Airtronics Z-style connectors and 4.8V or 6.0V receiver battery packs.
The green, yellow, and red LEDs provide a convenient visual indication of receiver-pack condition while the system is operating under load. Monitoring the battery under load provides a more useful check than viewing an unloaded battery by itself.
An integrated charge port allows the receiver battery to be charged without removing it from the aircraft. The protective charge-port cover helps keep dirt and debris out of the connection, while the soft-mount design helps isolate the switch from engine and airframe vibration.

Important Compatibility Information
This version is designed for 4.8V and 6.0V receiver systems using JR/Hitec/Airtronics Z-style connectors. These connectors are also commonly called JR-style or universal receiver connectors.
This is not the correct voltage-monitor version for 7.4V LiPo or Li-ion receiver packs. Confirm battery voltage, connector fit, and polarity before connecting the switch to the battery, receiver, or charging equipment.
LED Monitor Note
The three LEDs provide a convenient general indication of receiver-pack condition under load. They do not replace proper charging practices, periodic battery-capacity testing, or inspection of the receiver battery and wiring.
Installation and Charging
Secure the switch and wiring away from moving parts, sharp edges, and hot engine components. Place the receiver system in the OFF position before connecting charging equipment. Always follow the battery and charger manufacturers’ instructions.
