A wall wart is like my 3rd or 4th line back up.  Had to go check on the UL thing, it appears my Japan Radio wall wart is not UL approved.  8-) (There, Dr K didn't have to say it but I knew what he was saying anyway.) That's OK, I have an old (wont mention the name) sirius like design for fast peak charging and an FMA Einstein for automatic battery cycling and testing, that's what I use mostly. I didn't order my JR 10x with anything but the tx, I think the JR wall wart I have came with my 783.

Karlton, Now this is hilarious. I had an MPX Cockpit MM on order from a hobby shop, but when it came in they phoned me and said that they really couldn't recommend it as MPX didn't supply a wall charger and they wouldn't recommend a "quick charger" for any R/C use. This was after they had convinced me that  the Cockpit was THE radio to go with. Now, how confused am I??? Don Karlton Spindle wrote: Wall chargers just cook your batteries. :(  Note we only recommend the sirrus aftermarket charger if not a MPX charger for loads less $$.  But IMHO the Sirrus is MORE then worth the money!! We do not even provide them unless forced to because they are so bad for your packs. Also notice some charges that come with radios are not even UL listed? :) Okay UL is more for the plastic that it will not catch on fire or bust when dropped but come on even a simple light stand has to have a UL listing.. So for safety sake check your charger see if it has the UL listing some of you will be surprised how many do not...  I will not say the brand of radio that comes with a non UL listed charger but it will shock you to find out who it is. <--Pun not intended.  The list will laugh when they see who it is and why it is funny. :) Smooth Sailing, Karlton Spindle http://www.MultiplexRC.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Munro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 6:18 PM Subject: [RCSE] all this chat about chargers??? Hi everyone, I have a real "newbie" question... I've been following all this chit-chat about chargers since I just got my first radio (JRxp652) and, of course it came with a charger. Why would I want to spend $100+ for another charger when I've already got one? no flames please :-) thanks in advance Don Munro RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.  Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
