Default Change Batt Powerd Charger To Plug in DC

Hello all,
OK I want to change my AAA charger to be able to plug it into the wall.
(Blade mcx)
I have read some stuff on it but just want to make sure I have it right.

I think this will work but want to make sure.
If anyone knows for sure it will please let me know.

If it will, as I do it I will document it and put together a video for the next guy to follow..

Thanks.

You don't need to add all that wire. Simply connect to the red and black wires going to the battery box from inside. Use a socket so you can disconnect the AC adapter. That way you can still use batteries when you're not near a power source.

OK I understand that but then the LED charge indicator will not work.. Thats what Im trying to avoid.

I just tried it the way I have it in the diagram, and no luck but I was thinking if I split the incoming + and ran it to all the + in the batt case and same for the - it might work. I would just have to run 1.5v instead of 6v..

I'm not sure though. I know there is an easier way but lack of funds stops me from those..

Thanks for the reply. Any one else have any ideas for me???
