TM have just released adapters for the G18c/M93R and MP7A1 batteries so they can be attached to the Tamiya connectors on most generic speed charges thus doing away with adapters or the need to worry for those thinking of doing or that did the modification to the charges.

They retail at 960JPY which is around 5.00 GBP and will be available very very soon.

Meh. It's so easy to just put a connector on the included charger I don't see much point in shelling out for one of these. All you need is a LED to determine polarity and the ability to solder (or to crimp, if you were to use a tamiya connector).

Here's mine with a Deans connector installed and the LED I picked up from Radio Shack to determine polarity.

And this also solves the discharging problem, right? Just hook this right into a discharger?

From what ive heard, you need to find a discharger that will work with a 7.2v battery. The current TM charger would over discharge AEP batteries :|
