| .... Just as a warning too all....... If you use a charger with a built in power supply, make sure to monitor and charge outdoors. These so called complete charging system are way to small to be reliable and safe to use unsupervised. I hate to send a shout out in a negative way but MRC Brain systems are some of the worst. Superduty97 - Sorry to hear about your charger. If you can spend the extra money, buy a charger that requires a seperate power supply. I personally like the Competition Electronics Pit Bull with a Victor power supply. Pro-Match Batteries is offering a close out on the Victor power supplies for like $40 bucks. This is just what I've used for years and love the way they perform. There are others that work really well such as Novak and Reedy. Hope this helps! Late |

| I'd call up the manufacturer and bitch them out!! That could get dangerous. I bet if you say it right they'll get you a new one. |
