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

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.
