Default RE: HELP - Charging XMtr Battery

I think he just wants to use the circular jack from the wall-wart charger with a loose battery.

Nope. The transmitter only prevents an accidental discharge from the charging circuit with a diode. Chop and splice away.

To discharge/charge my Tx battery around the diode with out removing it I made a short "Y" connector that tucks in beside the battery from two plain old J servo extension/conectors.

A place like Radio Shack might even have a female connector that would fit the Tx charger jack so you wouldn't have to loose the wall charger's original leads. We have an electronics supply house nearby that has about 50x more such things than Radio Shack currently carries. Who builds radios anymore?
