Looking for a cheap and basic charger

SuprSi

My younger brother passed an 18th scale jeep Team Associated 4WD jeep with everything except a charger for the battery packs. They're 7.2 volt packs and, being a complete noob with this sort of stuff I don't know what to look for.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap charger? I'm not hugely worried about how long it takes to charge the batteries. Cheers.

I'll look through my junk tonight, if I have one that'll do the job you can have it.

I have a small 9v charger that'll do the job, you'd just have to find the correct charging jack to match your battery. What is the mAh rating of the batteries?

SuprSi

Great stuff, thanks. I'm not sure about the rating but I can check the batteries this evening. Would that be written on the batteries themselves?

Yes, being 1/18 I suspect it'll be in the range of 1200-1650mAh.

Ok, I've two sets of batteries. The first set has 1100mah on it, the second doesn't have one number for all the batteries in the pack, all around 1120, so I'm guessing that's the same thing?

Btw, the charging jack is very small, like .5cm in width. Where could I pick up parts like these?
