Hey, I'm new to the forum and looking forward to getting answers from all you guys and gals who know waht's what and those of you who are not afraid to ask questions and become more knowledgeable about these products...... That being said.... last night my charger for my Mega ego-T stripped out... of course i only had one..... today I ordered 2, but it will take 2-3 days to get here. I have the o'le sodering iron out and am prepared to fix this in the mean time... the circuit board is complete. i just want to make sure where the two leeds soder into the end piece. any thoughts? thanks in advance....

Trying to get a good pic.... blurry... Their are two leeds black and red..... they go into a round fitting that screws into the battery.... one I know was attached to to the side. one goes into the center.... i attached both to the "side" but no power went to the battery when pluged in... need to know what goes color in the center.... sorry so scattered, trying to get a pic...

Well, my first thought would be to NEVER attach both leads to one contact point ... Standards would dictate that the red is positive and black is negative ... center contact is typically positive, side (outer) contact is negative. Of course the best way to verify which is which is with a multimeter ... should be able to get one at most hardware stores, or radio shack. Verify the polarity on the battery, verify the polarity on the wiring, and solder to match.
