Edited,,, sorry

How does the adapter work???

 

[dirt2suck]

Harmony,

Yes it is an upgrade kit that inlcludes two batteries and a charging adapter.

Thanks for clarifying my description error. I have updated it to be a complete manual battery Set-up.

Thanks Rob,,, you're quick!!

How does the adapter work???

The charging adapter threads onto the battery and then it allows it to thread in the wall charger. Without the adapter, you may not be able to use the manual button battery with the 901 wall charger.

The manual button on the battery is too close to the threads so it gets in the way when trying to connect it to the charger.

The adapter is pretty much an extention piece.

I will have pics on the webstore soon enough.

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks again, Rob.

Rob, will those manual batteries for the 901 charge OK using the USB charger you sell, the one where the battery doesn't actually screw in but is held in place by a spring-loaded lever...

By the way, that particular charger does a great job on 510 batteries as well

I have found that the manual batteries charge with the USB charger if you remove the manual button. I would not recommend this procedure, because if you lose the button you are SOL, and possibly removing it many times will eventully tear the button or mess something up. The adapter was made for a reason.

But in an emergency, the USB charger or even the wall charger would work by removing the button.

Thanks,
Rob

8-o Really!!

It ALWAYS will charge a 510 battery. I have 3 of them, all charge just fine in that USB charger.

What it WON'T always do is charge a 901 battery....
My white 901 battery charges just fine on it but one of my black batteries that came in my kit from GP will NOT charge unless I hold it with a lot of pressure....??????????

Here's proof it charges 510s....

Yep, me too. My 510 and 801 charges like a champ. My 901 I have to piddle hard with it to get it to try to charge in it..
Strange..

 

[dirt2suck]

huh,

well I just tried my 510 again, and no luck.

My 901 works perfectly in it. I am sure it does have to deal with the diameter of the battery. As the 510 and 801 is larger than 901. It is easier to stay put.

I also just checked my 801 and it is fine.

Still not getting it to charge the 510.

Strange..

.... Same here... with my older black 901 battery, when I push it in, it indicates the beginning of a charge... as soon as I let go of the lever, it gets pushed a bit sideways and cockeyed, breaking the electrical contact..

But why it does it consistently with one 901 battery and not the other leaves me clueless....

Exactly what mine does on 1 black batt and 1 of my pink one's...
I usually wedge some paper around it to help hold mine .
Ya know, it may be a difference in sizing between batts or even the charger. Even a smallest amount of size difference in manufacturing could be enough to throw things off in our case with the 901's or Rob's with the 510.

That was brilliant, Wench
I can't imagine why I didn't think of that.....
