Manufacturer description

The R7416 Power Bank Maxi is our largest power bank and will keep locomotives with larger motors that require more pulling power, running over any potential dead spots. The space require inside a locomotive for this power bank is 22 x 12 x 10mm. 

The Power Bank Maxi can be connected into the current range of HM7000 DCC Bluetooth decoders. A simple plug & play socket means there's no soldering required!

Why use one?

Your layout will occasionally suffer from dirty track or small electrical dead spots at points and crossings. The small loss of power can cause locomotives to stop, but with DCC Sound Decoders it can also cause the sounds to reset and restart. Avoid both issues by fitting a Power Bank.

Perfect locomotive running and optimal control!

(The Power Bank is not suitable for use without an HM7000 decoder, connecting it directly to other decoders or directly to the wiring of a model locomotive may cause damage to the Power Bank, your locomotive or your non-HM7000 decoder).

For small locomotives we have a smaller Power Bank available R7377 Power Bank

Model details

Hornby Power Bank Maxi (Part number R7416) is a OO‑scale power bank measuring 22 mm × 12 mm × 10 mm, with an overall length of 20 mm.

It supplies additional pulling power for locomotives with larger motors, helping them to run through track dirty spots and electrical dead zones without loss of traction or interruption to DCC sound functions.

The unit connects directly to the HM7000 DCC Bluetooth decoders via a plug & play socket, eliminating the need for soldering. It is designed solely for use with HM7000 decoders; connecting it to other decoders or directly to locomotive wiring may cause damage.

For smaller locomotives Hornby also offers the R7377 Power Bank as a more compact alternative.
