    ebay or maybe dealextreme.com


    you could also buy a smart charger and cut the plug off the charger and use it directly with the smart charger

    Smart charger is like the universal ones with the adjustable voltage on them???
    I was told to do this from the guy I got the mp7 from but i was just exploring my options...
    Polarity isnt a problem in smart chargers are they like +and - theres no colours on the wires so it doesnt matter how you rewire them?

    the polarity does matter for chargers, you'll have to figure out which wire is which first

    your MP7 must be the TM brand i take it? the chargers off the clone MP7, Scorpion and the MAC 10 can all be used if you dont want to go down the route of chopping the wiring off., personally id go for the option KD mentioned, it'll be healthier for your battery in the long run and it'll charge quicker too., :)

    something like this: http://irishairsoftsupplies.ie/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=72

    You can cut the wires on the mp7 adapter and plug it straight into the black/red terminals on the front of the smart charger
