Default Tx charge = FAIL

I got a charge lead for my radio's, its a futaba setup and i have my batts plugged in and i can't seem to get them to charge, i have a futaba magnum 2pl and a tower 2txp, i've tried it on and off but i get no reading from my charger (mrc 977) yet the other half of the lead for RX packs works fine, i can charge the batts from my battery tray from my MX3 but thats gets old having to swap um out every time. they're duracel 2650 cells any tips at all???

I'd suspect the charge lead first. Can you borrow one from another local modeler?

Your MRC 977 Delta Peak Charger cannotcharge (nor couldanysimilar unit)a batteryin that TX without userfirstlocating and bridging the diode in the TX.
Sirius Electronics- Bridging TX Diodes '
Best and easiest solution when using any fast/peak charger is toremove the battery pack and connect direct to the charger.
