trickle charger from wall wart?

1- Just use the radio am charger as is to charge your batteries. 2- OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. My son is an OEM designing and manufacturing the RCWindjammer and buys from other OEMs to resell to wholesalers and dealers. Usually if my son pays a dollar for a chunk of aluminum it will be sold to a wholesaler for a buck and a half, who will sell it to a dealer for two-bucks who will sell it to you for three bucks.

I don't know if they still have them available or not, but usually around Christmas some of the discount stores have flasher units available for flashing non flashing light strings. Just plug the charger into the flashing unit and you are home free.

I have all my "Wall Warts" plugged into a strip which is plugged into a timer which comes on once every day for 2 hours. If I know I am going to fly that afternoon, I turn them on manual for about 4 hours or sometimes overnight. However, they are usually pretty well fully charged anyway. Ever so often I cycle them and start over. Has worked for years without having battery problems. Just my experience. Yours may vary, of course. DaveDeadly

Gotta watch that. If the charger doesn't have a diode in the circuit it will actually drain the battery when off. Dr.1 Driver "There's a Hun in the sun!"

Add a diode on the AC side - same way one of the manufactured units does.
