Default charging 8 AA batteries for M8 adapter...

i bought a used M8 and i am using 8 AA nimh batteries to power it... there is a plug for an adapter on the bottom of the AA battery tray but it didn't come with the adapter... i'm wondering what spec adapter do i need to get so i can charge all 8 batteries at the same time without having to take them out of the tray...? thanks...

Not familar with the M8, but my futaba 3pk and 3PJS NiMH pacs have a male servo connector. I just bought a fem servo lead and made my own - Hobbico makes a pre-made one that has banana plugs for the charger side.

i still use a wall unit that charges both rx packs and tx packs. u could hack off the tx part and put ur fav connector on the other side if u desire to charge off ur primary charger.

sadly up til the advent of lipo batts, i preferred to use a double vision charger that did tx/rx/glow all at same time. even had polarity switch for folks that had jr radios which are wired backwards.

check out all the adaptors/dongles on horizon, sure u'll find somethin u can use there
