JR transmitter charge plugs are OPPOSITE polarity from Airtronics, Futaba, and Hitec. To address your other question, you can fast charge the battery in place in the transmitter ... I have always felt it was safer to fast charge with the battery out of the transmitter. I have flown the Airtronics Infinity 660 series for several years and now have a Stylus and the battery is made to be removed quite easily from those .... as a matter of fact, I believe Airtronics even suggests fast charging with the out of the transmitter. I must admit, though, I have never had any problem associated with fast charging and I have used AccuCycle Plus in the past and now am using a Sirius fast charger.

Again, the polarity of the JR transmitter leads is OPPOSITE that of Airtronics, Futaba, and Hitec.
