BC6 to charge NiCd and NiMH

[Cklasse]

Ok, it was a silly mistake but I fried my Spektrum charger for Tx and Rx. How can I not noticed the US 2 pin plug and plugged it into the wall socket?

Anyway, I am thinking of using my Bantam BC6 to charge the Tx NiMH and Rx NiCd. I will need to mod the Spektrum charger cables to fit the BC6 and just need the assurance from any experience guys here that it is feasible to charge using BC6.

The batteries are spec as DC11.6V and 5.8V, both 110mA.

BC6 manual stated a 5A charge for the 4.8V and 9.6V batteries.

Thanks.

can be done, just use the same output setting on your Spektrum charger and set accordingly into your BC6.
make sure your + and - is correct.

I tried to figure out how to join the charger cable today and realised that there are 3 wires for the Rx NiCd battery; orange, red, brown.

Anyone knows how do I connect to the BC6 black and red wires?

red to red

black(futaba) to brown(JR)

orange - doubt that it is connected internally

I turned on my new BC6 for the first time but only see the first line in the LCD display showing a black strip. Is my BC6 faulty and there is no change in display even when I press any button.

What should be the normal display for a BC6 without problem?
