Yes, it will charge sla too.

Google for swallow ac/dc 2, youll get more hits. Like I said, there are more like this one, it doesnt need to be specificly that name.

The only thing to watch with that eBay one is that it has an Australian plug on it.

Although provided the mains power rating in Australia is the same as the UK (i.e 230V) and assuming the plug for the charger is only a plug and not a special transformer, then getting a kettle cable thats got a British plug on it would solve that problem

Thats the one. I know of a Belgian roboteer that has the same charger with different buttons and brand name on it but is also the same specs and box.

just looked through the posts again and realised the second one woody has put up is from england
but will it do all the same things as the other one?
and will it do everthing i need it to
i.e charge-
7.2v nicad
8.4v nimh
12v SLA battery

also will it charge these in the same/ similar time to the swallow charger?

apoligises for all the questions, just want to get the best charger for my money

thanks alex

i think i have found it slightly cheaper

also found a used one on ebay, the seller stated that the charger charged a nimh 4200 pack in around an hour. i asked the voltage 7.2v, but from particularly dead 0.9v

seems good times to me, are they?

thanks alex

i have got one of the propeak sigmas for my birthday, but it doesnt include the leads for charging-it has a set for chrging USING and external battery and a plug for the plug socket

what should i be buying? i need to charge both lead acid battery and nicad/nimhs

any recommen=dations would be appreciataed

Well, your charger uses banana plugs (I did not make that name up, I swear ), so you need those one one side. The other side can be crocodile clamps for the lead acid, and bullet or deans ultra or powepole or Tamiya connectors for the nicad/nimhs. Are they ready made packs? They usually already have a style connector on them.

you can get banana plugs from alot of places, maplin being one,

As does Technobots.

yeh they are ready made packs tamiya connectors-, what do you mean by the other side? i was thinking if i have a tamiya connector on the end i can charge the nicad/nimhs and then make an atachment to go onto that that will then connector to a sla, would that work?
