AC adapter for micro-t charger

[ChemicalInDependency]

Had some spare time, and spare parts. So i figured i would quit buying/recharging batteries to recharge batteries. Using an N size plug and a DPDT slide switch i came up with this.



I am using a 3-12 volt 1000ma AC adapter for the power source. Havent had any problem thus far, and the car gets a more consistent charge. Main reason for making this is i was having problems with low run times and fast power loss after charging 5 or 6 times using the batteries. I added the switch so i can chage between charging with the bats. or with the AC adapter that way i still have the portability

I like the switch idea. I really got to do that

It was a real pain in the ass getting everything to fit in there right. I spent almost an hour just measuring making sure i was drilling in the right spot, and that it would all fit.

nice work dude, here's a similar mod from one of the fellas at r7r

Also, make sure your powerpack is a regulated one, you'll get more consistent charges out of it.

The stock LOSI charger is essentially a peak charger at heart. Peak dV chargers are very sensitive to shitty (noisey) AC based DC supplies. A regulated or well filtered supply will help combat this.

Thats funny i looked in those forums to see if someone had made one yet and never ran across that.
