Charging issue
2 August, 2010, 16:07
Im a bit of a noob when it comes to batteries and charging but here goes....
I have an Ultrapeak 4 Smart Charger. It charges a 1500mah 1.2V (mini??) for my JG G36k fine with the use of an adaptor...
However, I also got a 1800mah 1.2V (large??) for my JG MP5a4 and this slots onto the charger fine when the adaptor is removed... however the light on the charger just flashes and doesn't actually charge the battery...
Any help would be really appreciated
(sorry if you cant understand what on earth i'm on about)

That's per cell. I'm presuming they have more than 1 cell?

Re: Charging issue
It's quite possible the 1800 is dead. Can you try it on another charger?

Re: Charging issue
The person who sent me the gun forgot to include the charger in the box - hopefully thats being sent asap - thats the reason im using the other charger.... So no it cant yet but im pretty sure its not dead - i connected it as soon as i got the gun to see if it was charged and it was on its last legs....
