isnt the charger 110v as in the US voltage?? you may need a converter


i just checked -- it is US 110v you need a converter

MAD Ozzie

Had the same prob, had to get a converter,220/110. and the battery should charge propley, have the TM MP7 in the shop and cant sell without a converter. Thay wont tell you that in Hong Kong.

But wait to see what others say as im no expert.

Yet.

where to pick up a converter??

MAD Ozzie

Its a desktop Voltage converter 100w it has the 2 pin plug in bit, and just plugs into the normal socket.
Not to shure on the price?? a mate got it for me, but ide say around 20-30euro.

Pain in the ass.

You should bring your keyboard to a PC shop too.
The capslock key seems to be stuck.

MAD Ozzie

Ya can get em in Maplin.

A PC store, or maplins, should be able to help you there.

If you get a voltage convertor that does step up and step down try put it on the right setting you might trip out your house



Oh and that switch on the input plug side... I think that was supposed to indicate the input power not the output.

just get a different charger, it'll be cheaper and better really.,

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.,

Ample Free ...?

The converter will look something like either of these two, they're both step down converters from 230v to 110v, 3-pin input and a 2-pin output.


Like other people said maplins is probably your best bet.

cplcummins

well thanks everyone for your help...

THANKS TO PADDY WHO'S HELP ALMOST RESULTED IN BURNING DOWN MY HOUSE!!

this case is now closed!!!

Cut off the charger, stick on a standard connector, then plug it into whatever charger you currently own ( assuming you have one ). Much handier and easier solution.

*edit* I think you can buy ready-made adaptors like this from major online airsoft retailers. Mine pictured above is a mod job of the charger supplied with the TM MP7.

yeh i did exactly the same with mine, works perfectly:)
