There has been more than one report that the high current draw of the BCR at startup has caused the charging circuitry of the 5V PS/2 board to fail. While it hasn't personally happened to me, enough has been said about the possibility that I'm a bit loath to recommend the BCR for 5V PS/2 installations. I use the BCR in PS/1 locomotives, and a supercap clone for 3V PS/2 boards, but I stick to the NiMh battery for 5V PS/2 boards.
