You state that you now have the proper charger on the TX in question for a while now. I suggest checking right away to see whether the TX actually turns on, this will determine a few things:
- that indeed the TX powers up
- that the pack is retaining a charge (check initial voltage)
- that all cells are showing a minimum V (whatever the indicated voltage is divided by 8 - should be at least 1.1-2V/cell).

Y'all know I'm no electronics whiz, so I'd appreciate a little advice if any
is necessary:
I just charged both of my JR TX's for several hours using two wall chargers.
One charger was stock JR, the other one I THOUGHT was my other stock JR wall
charger..... but I now see that it was actually a Hitec wall charger. The
radio that was on the Hitec charger had zilch, wouldn't come on, LCD display
didn't even flash for a second. Seemed very weird at first, but once I
realized it had been on the wrong charger, things started to make more
sense.
I've now got the uncharged (mis-charged?) radio charging on the JR charger,
as was the original intent.
I seem to remember from my days of wiring various other chargers that the
wall charger polarity on a Hitec and JR chargers might be opposite. Any reason to expect that I've done any damage to the battery? Anything I
should be doing or checking?
I already put the 'correctly charged' battery in the TX that was on the
Hitec charger and everything works fine.
Thanks in advance for any reassurances (or horrors if warranted) :-)
Lift,
