Charger?

[Southpaw]

hey i just got the DX sku: 1251 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1251
and i got 10440 batteries with it, it says it charges all 3.6/3.7V which these batteries are but the batteries dont fit in anywhere, will this charger be even of use?
Also i just have a regular charger for 1.5V AAA, could i charge them in there?

There are pictures of it with 10440 batteries in it on the page you linked too... :-/
And no you cannot use a normal nicad charger...

how do u fit them in? ive tried every posibility, not unless u need to attach something on the top the put the bateries where the spring is, how would i go about fixing this?

 

[rog8811]

Are you saying that the spring loaded sliders do not come close enough to the fixed contacts to clamp the batteries? If so you need a couple of spacers, most here use magnets.

yea, just a magnet would do it? just put it infront of the spring thing and just press it up and it should work? thx

i just read that you cant put 10440 batteries in the charger because of the mA, is this ture? the voltage is correct

If that is what it says I would take note, if you have unprotected cells you may blow them up....
I just had a closer look at the picture on DX, they are not 10440 in the picture, as I had assumed.

Looks like you need another charger, they have a link to the right one on the 10440 page.

i have the blue covered protected cells, (from DX too), so what would happen to them if i put a magnet in and then charge it?

 

[rog8811]

Sorry I am not going to advise you on this one, if the company says you cannot charge them I would follow their advice....
Maybe someone else has had the same combo and can tell you.
