Local Charger Replacement

Hello Everyone,

Recently, my charger stopped charging JD. Is there an alternative I can run to a local store and buy, so I don't have to wait for a replacement to be shipped out? I'm eager to get back to exploring.

Thanks

Any balance port charger will do, there are many around which are pretty much the same as the one EZ-Robot ships.

Here's one

@jstarne1 Looks like it's on back order. I was actually hoping to find one that is sold in a local store or somewhere that will ship quickly.

Have you tried eBay? If you buy from the US seller you should get it in a few days...

Any hobby shop that sells RC planes or cars should have what you need.

Yes, but I when I search for "Balance Charger", I don't see any offered by usa sellers.

LOL - please disregard that last post, I just realized I was stuck in ebay uk after clicking the previous link :-) there are USA sellers that have it.

Looking around now.

I have that charger. for it to charge, it has to use the two connections in the T connector. It does not charge through the red,white,black cable, or I havent figured out how to get it to do so. It uses this connector to monitor the batteries. I will see if I can figure out how to get it to charge through the 3 wires and let you know for sure this evening.

It does work great if you have only the battery, but the ones that are internal to the robots, I havent gotten it to work yet. I have not spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get it to charge the batteries that are internal to the robots so there may be a setting I dont know of.

@d.cochran , thanks. That's good information because I have the JD robot with an internal battery. I think I will buy the one @richard recommended: Balance Charger

Actually I think I am going to take my own advice and buy one.... ;)

askwpcoach, I use the turnigy charger that Josh listed. Works well with built in power. I checked availability and it said 10 in stock, but you have to click on US warehouse. Mine was shipped fast.

@steve thanks for the update, I just bought the Turnigy, they have a warehouse near my home so I will be able to pick it up :-) .

I bought the Turnigy Charger this morning and have already picked it up from the warehouse - amazing. JD is now charging perfectly.

Thanks for the link.
