But, I found this charger: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Universal-Ni-C...item563304c456

In the description for this charger it says that it has reverse-polarity, right? I think the JR XS3 has reverse polarity aswell. However, in the XS3's manual it clearly states:

"Located on the left-hand side of the transmitter is the charging jack that accepts only JR wall chargers. Please do not attempt to use any other brand of wall charger, as it may be reverse polarity and can cause damage to your system. Only use the JR wall charger when the XS3 is equipped with Ni-Cd batteries (JRPB958, available separately)."

What should I do? Go with the ebay charger?
Looks like to me you answered your own question with the quote from JR, can you order the charge from Horizon Hobby?
