Tamiya 55*** Battery/charger list

[svenb 3291]

Is there a complete list of the Tamiya battery and charger out there? 55*** numbers.

I'm looking for a couple of battery/charger sets and although I know about half I'm struggling with the earlier first 50 ie 55001-55049.

Such as the part number for the 7.2v racing pack & charger set.

I started on a handwritten "database" of Tamiya products in the early eighties, entered it in Basic in 1984, converted to Word Perfect around 1990 and finally Excel around 2001/2002. I'm virtually updating and adding information to it every day. Stupid, but it's a part of the hobby for me. Below is the 55xxx part of the "database". As you see (highlighted in yellow), the list is missing multiple items simply because I haven't been able to find the information, or have found it in Japanese only and been unable to translate despite having OCR.  (Open it in a new window and click right to enlarge.)

Brilliant 👍🏻

I'll have a read if that tonight.

There's a few missing that I know which I'll double check.

Thanks again

Wow, awesome stuff.  Not the stuff you're looking for @svenb, but just wanted to share a picture of my vintage quick charger by COX (made in Japan).   I have a couple humpbacks and they all held a charge when I tried them a year or so ago.
