Battery Charger HELP

shadow_matter · August 3rd, 2008, 19:09

I am trying to charge up my batteries with the BB Bastard smart charger (has 1A, and 2A settings). Problem is that I lost the AC power cord for the unit. Will a standard computer power cord work since it has the same 3 prong connector? I want to make sure before I accidently melt something.

Thanks.

A standard computer cord will work fine. That's what I use on mine since I misplaced my original cord as well.

Thanks man, you're a life saver. That 2.0A input thing had me wondering.

That's not an input, that's output current. That determines how much jiuce is sent to the battery, and how fast it will charge. If your battery is under 2000 mAh, then use the 1A setting. If your battery is over, then use the 2A setting.

You can use the 2A setting to fast charge a battery, but generally, it's best to go with a slower charge.
