The plugs for the transmitter are different in respect to polarity. JR is different than most all the other radios on the market. Good Luck Dave

No, plugs don't matter as long as they mate correctly, but the battery you are charging does matter quite a bit. What is your RX battery chemistry and cell count?

Careful!

JR plugs have reversed polarity, so it DOES matter in this case.

True, but only on the TX and the OP asked about RX, and if polarity is reversed, that wouldn't be mating correctly anyway by definition. We already have charger suggestions and polarity issues for TX mentioned, but none of us know what RX battery the OP is trying to charge. Shouldn't we try to figure that out first?
