Sanwa (Airtronics) seen to date in this country have the same polarity and 2.1mm centre pin as Hitec. However, check on the inside of the battery box area as some TX have the charge jack polarity embossed into case.
In doubt, unplug the TX battery from TX socket, charge battery direct and then plug back into TX when charge is complete.

If it were my Airtromics (known as "Sanwa" in countries outside of USA) TX, I would simply plug in a Hitec charger and not be concerned.
Copy of my diagram, now used on packaging of a TX.RX and glowdriver AC 3-way charger which is with supplied with an interchangeable TX plug, is attached.
However, as always, this presupposes that your TX has not been amended in any way. In need borrow a multi meter, remove your TX battery then plug charger into TX with TX switch in OFF position, then check olrity of plug into which battery lead is inserted.
