is that the hump pack , or the new flat 6volt 4600 ? i would get a charger that does all types and modes and amp input , its hard to tell what setting your stock charger is set to whether its set to nimh or nicd , if your new batt is nimh then you need a charger for that setting . ahh your stock batt should be a nicd and the stock charger should be already set for that mode , but if your batt is a nimh then i would not use that charger for the new batt you got

doesntmatter i guess as long u set to standard charging setting is ok rather then fast charging.new batter usually required more charging time as first timer den subsequent is less.
