Sold a charger that doesn't fit

MadMattDog

Hi, 1st post here on boards :P .

I bought this charger from MIA in Blanch: http://www.mainirishairsoft.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=261

And this battery: http://www.mainirishairsoft.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=259 at the same time. The charger clearly says in the instructions that it can charger from 2.0 to 12.0 volts. The battery is 8.4volts. The stupid thing is the connection on the charger doesn't fit either of my batteries, it's alot bigger then my batteries mini-U. Why would the people there sell me a charger that doesn't fit the battery that I'm buying? Is it possible to buy an adapter from somewhere to make it fit?

bit strange if you brought the two together that the difference in connection was not noted by the shop but it could have just been a mistake, i take it there is a large tamiya male connection on on the charger and small tamiya female on the battery, you can get a large to small converter from most shops there normally a couple of euros, another option is to just call the shop and explain the situation, maybe they can supply a converter or swap the charger for one with a mini connection

A lot of chargers come with several adapters and maybe it just fell out of the box.Ask at the shop.Most shops also sell adapters.

Good to hear, cus I like the charger. It's just a bitch of a commute going back and forward between home and MIA. Kinda sucks they didn't notice cus I'm goin to a game tomorrow :S

Yeah your supposed to get one with that charger, they dont include them in the box though, they come seperately in a big bunch.,

I've seen retailers selling them as add-ons for the charger for about a fiver :rolleyes: just go up and see what the story is asap:)
If your stuck for a charger im sure someone on here wouldnt mind charging them for you (myself included) if its easier than headin to MIA
