I tried my Hitec wall wart charger, but no joy.
Has anyone succeeded in charging through the charging port on this Tx?
I charge my 9x through this port with a Jr Charger that has had polarity reversed ( for the 9x, negative goes to the sleeve on the outside and positive is in the middle. This is opposite of the standard Jr Charger, so I cut the cord and switched polarity.).
Also note that a LOT of wall chargers put out 9.6V. For 8cell LSD NiMh batteries like Eneloops, you need one of the 10.6-11.6V chargers to give it a proper charge (mine top out at 11.1 volts, 1.39V per cell).
Further, a lot of wall chargers charge at 50mah. That means a 20-40 hour charge for batteries that are nearly depleted. My Jr charger puts out the right voltage, but only 50mah. That means that when I charge, it takes a day and a half. But since I use LSD batteries, I can charge any time and be assured that the charge will be there at a later time when I need it.
