It is 600mA as where the original was 650 mA, will that be an issue? I can not find any 650 or 700 with this connector.

And this charger:

Nothing wrong with the above. The capacity is not critical.

But you would get more bang for your buck buying NiMH packs from these guys. http://www.batteryspace.com/48vnimha...ackseries.aspx

Your existing wallwart charger will do the job. I would plug it into one of these cheap time switches http://www.walmart.com/ip/Woods-5000...50000/21682990 set it to charge for 3/4 hour every day. When you come in from flying plug both the RX and TX batteries in and set the overide on the timer to charge for enough time to fully charge the batteries, say 5 hrs for a short flying session 10 hrs for a long one. Leave the timer charger and batteries plugged in and every day they get topped right back up. NiMH do self discharge more than most other batteries.
