Status: offline 		Hi,
I've got a airtronics charger ( wall wart) and I want to make sure it is working. What can I do to make sure it measures up?
Also, can one of my other fut, hitec, jr chargers work with it?
It is a vanguard 6 ch 8 to 10 year old system.
Thanks

turn on the Tx and Rx and run the servos with the Tx until the servos stop working and the Tx meter is in the red, charge the batteries with the wall wart for 17 hours and then check with an ESV to see what level they got charged too.

Also, can one of my other fut, hitec, jr chargers work with it?

All will work with the Rx batt, but you'll need to change the plug on the end of the charger as they use a different plug for charging. the Fut and Hit Tx charger will work with Airt, but the Jr will not as the polarity is different.
