What kind of battery charger?
 
I need a battery charger for my; new to me, used Specktrum DX7 transmitter. I noticed the polarity is reversed from my existing wall plug Futaba.
SmallHaul Scott had one that charged batteries in about 45min. So what should I get? I won't be charging larger battery packs or receiver packs due to my model being wired directly to 110vac.
Ask me about mechanical things I can help you but this high tech stuff forget it:eek:

That looks like it should work. You know my situation. I forgot about the feature of being able to hook up to your car battery too. I remember guys over at my friends RC airport hooking up to their car battery. Now I have the 2.4ghz Scott, I may have to pull the drag out of the crate and try operating it. I'm almost finished painting my house now and I have a small prototype gizmo to make for a guy and then I hope to be building my brass boom soon.

Scott, My brother had a extra Super Brain 977 he gave me that he thought the power supply was burnt out but when I tried it out it worked perfectly. I charged my batteries up , read the Specktrum manual and familiarized myself with the system. Looks like it will do but I need to figure how to utilize the 7 channels. I haven't had time to try on the machine yet.
