Check around. Hobbyking should have some cheap ones. Or you could possably use a car battery charger. It just needs to supply 12v DC power. You charger should have recomended minimum requirements for "input power"
I have several 12v adapters at home but none seems to work, could be the current is not enough, the highest 1200mA.
If the culprit is the current why is it possible to charge my other batteries which are 2300mA with the 1200mA charger?
