Any suggestions on getting a charger for batteries with contacts on the outer edge of post ?

By that I guess you mean ones that this charger was not designed to work with right? Well, that is a little tricky based on what you are trying to charge. If it is a commercial battery for a drill, you can get something similar to this if you just type the drill's name or model. You don't have to worry about typing the specific battery model number or the specific charger model number and you will see a few results for just the charger mixed in with the results. I typed craftsman 19v and found this one. If you are trying to charge something else or another tool or battery by another manufacturer and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are asking for trouble but I will give you a few tips. 1) Lithium ion batteries are ticking time bombs. They will explode if over charged with too much voltage or current. 2) LiPo will explode if wrong polarity is used. 3) Most of them have protections from the things that make them explode and some even have them per cell. Some of them though rely on the charger to be smart enough not to over charge and have odd terminals so you can't charge it in any other charger. 4) They all operate in series and some, like this one, even charge in series. Thus with a multimeter, find the polarity of the battery you want to charge and the approximate voltage (I.e. if you have a 24 volt battery and it has 4 terminals and per two terminals you find that they are 10 volts each when low on charge then one can assume that you have 2 sets of 12 volt batteries in a series) then just get some alligator clips and clip them to another power source or power adapter of the same voltage and then sawpt them between the series. One time I really needed a device and I forgot the charger and I did this by connecting the alligator clips to my car for 30 mins then I swapped them to the other terminals for 30 mins too and it got me out of trouble. Just be really careful not to overcharge. Hope this helps.

I have used universal pin style chargers for a few years now to charge several different types of 3.6 to 3.7 volt camera batteries. If you search on Amazon, charger model 0797734229660 looks like a good possibility and Cellet model 319660 is the style I use. These style of chargers have adjustable contact pins to line up with different sized battery. If you want a charger specifically for this battery only then search for a Casio NP-40 battery charger. This camera uses Casio NP-40 batteries if you are looking for spares.

Hi,You ought to be able to get some good information from MTD Products at 877-282-8684 or log on to their website at www.mtdproducts.com. They were very helpful with me when I had a charger question. Make sure you've got the model number handy (should be on the charger itself, above the caution notice) . Fortunately, the chargers are inexpensive to replace...but you've got to get the right one for your battery.

Spare batteries or you could use something like this: Opteka BP-SC6000 Ultra High Capacity (6000mAh) Backup Battery Solar Charger with Faster Charging EcoPanel

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A SOLUTION!! Put the nose of the batter in at a DOWNWARDS ANGLE. catching just the front hooks to secure in place. Charger then recognizes it. the problem is the connectors are two short for the battery. if you put the battery in at a angle, works perfectly fine.

I would suggest bending one of the outside prongs of the charger in VERY slightly to get a better fit. I've had instances where my battery wouldn't charge. I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but plug the charger into the wall outlet first, then plug the charger into the battery second. Not the best design for a charger, in my opinion.

The metal contacts on the battery should contact the metal contacts in the top of the charger. They are spring loaded. Put the battery in at the top and then push up and put the bottom of the battery in. I plug it in with the light on the bottom of the unit so I can plug it into the bottom half of an outlet and then can still plug something else in the top half of the outlet. The second half of your question didn't come through. Hope that helps.

Look at the top of the battery - Line up the "+" , "-" on the top upper left edge. And notice the brass contacts on the top. If your facing the charger, the black contacts on the charger are on the right side. Black to brass and your good to go. Hope this helps. In case your charger is black, look for the two little pins inside the battery slot.

Radio Shack may have one. Also I believe Amazon does sell a universal charger with various adapters

Put the two contacts on the charger on the two outside contacts on the battery.

I looked up your charger # & found 1 on ebay for 19.98. Do not know which other chargers might work. First thing I would check to see if the batteries are good if you have not already done that. I hope that info helps some. Good luck

If you are looking for an External battery charger, then I went ahead and bought this: External Battery Charger for Dell Inspiron 1525, 1526, 1545 Series Laptop BatterySold by Top Power The first one that came was damaged but it only took a matter of an email and a phone call before they sent me a brand new one- no shipping fee incurred on my behalf. Its a great battery- I just ordered another 9 cell to charge while the other one is in use. Hope this was relevant

A handy person could help you wire in a charging pigtail and most any small charger of the same voltage would work. If you have a radio shack nearby just take the whole thing down to them and see what they can do for you.

Use the DC9310 DeWalt charger, yellow top, black bottom, not the old all black charger. You can get them on line for great prices now.

I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged. In my specific case I have the charging pad mounted to the underside of my back plate not to the battery. Ive also bent the snout of the charging pad (where the contacts are located) away from the underside of the back plate so when mounting the back plate the contacts can line up better. This is not necessary if youve taped the charging plate to the battery. If youve taped the charging plate to the battery and your confident the charging contacts are fully engaged then I would look to the I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged.
