This is also a possibility, if you have an inexpencive charger you can charge AA cells(maybe AAA cells I'm not sure) with this. If they blow up in your face don't blame me. ;)

P.S. This is a very nice site you have here. :)

True, not sure what the precise charge rate becomes with that device though. We're going to be stocking an inexpensive charger for the 6-cell very soon.

I'm very glad you just said that! I really want a Mini-x and I thought a charger was going to be the problem because of how much they cost. Any idea how much the charger will cost? Any idea when you will be selling it?

Hmmm if it's a wall unit you might not be able to use it. The power runs at 110v here, what is it in the UK? :confused:

Bez 08-24-2002 07:03 PM

Hmmmm I'm not sure I think it's 240v AC.

Bez 08-24-2002 07:03 PM

Also I think your plug sockets are different to ours. :(

Looks like I won't be getting a Mini-x now... :(

fatdoggy 08-24-2002 07:09 PM

Wait a sec Aust runs on 240 as well, do your plugs look like this?

-l- with out the "-'s" I just ahd to do that so it looked right.

If so you might be able to get a charger from www.radiomodels.com.au for cheap.

Even if it is a different plug you can get a plug converter for cheap.

But instead of all this I'm sure you can get a cheap charger over there that can charge the mini-x packs.

Bez, power is not an issue, it's a 12VDC input, just use your car, or an AC->DC adapter.

fatdoggy our plugs are different to that. The only way I could do it is to get a converter like you said. I have converters for the plugs in other countries, but I would need a converter that would convert it to an English style plug - where would I get this?

I've just emailed my LHS, hopefully they might have a charger for me.

Wait, are you saying I have to use a DC power supply? :confused:

fatdoggy 08-25-2002 05:13 PM

You mean an aussie plug that converts to a british plug... I'm not sure, radiomodels might be able to get one.... I have no idea. :confused:

Before checking this out wait for the reply from your lhs, if they don't have a charger you could use I'll be surprised. :D

tinyrc 08-26-2002 07:23 PM

No adapters are needed, you can use any 12VDC power source, such as a battery or your car!
