| You just have to make sure it charges 6-cell NiCD packs. And also, you have to see if it's a peak charger or just a timed charger. If it's a timed charger, it may not work with the stock pack, since I don't know what battery packs it was designed to charge. If it's a peak charger, it STILL may not work, since the charging current may be too high. So in other words, I don't know. At least not until you give more details about the charger. -patchy |

| the charger is a hot bodies micro charge. it says ac/dc cell peak charger. i have it set to 1 amp (charge rate), it goes all the way up to 4 amps. it also says input: AC 230v 50Hz. DC 12V Source. also what type of connection is on the battery, cause this is the tiyama(spell check) style connection |

| I think 1 amp is a little harsh on the stock 650mah AA Ni-CD pack, but it should survive. Yeah the connector on the battery is the popular Tamiya connector, though it seems looser than a lot of the other tamiya connectors I've use before. -patchy |

| It will work fine as long as it's a 6cell, 7.2volt pack. the 3300 refers to the battery pack's capacity, which is expressed in units of milliamp-hours, or mAH. The higher the mAH rating, the longer the runtimes. -patchy |
