Does anyone have a dead battery and charger

[richieh]

As per title- am after a dead battery and charger so I can build a battery testing/conditioning rig.
 Would rather not strip a working set of my own as I am a proper tightwad  
Intents are to measure charge/discharge rates and capacities etc along with deep discharge/recharge cycles to maximise the battery lifespan/usefulness etc.
 obviously would pay postage /inconvenience etc

I've popped your ' Wanted ' thread on to the Classies Rich . . . where it's more likely to get attention than on GV.

I've got a knackered Riva and a DOA ego charger somewhere richieh will have a dig around for them later and see if I can find them.

That'd be really helpful, wasn't really sure where to put the request but knew if I got it wrong someone better in the know would sort it or put me right.

I've got an Xtar charger which I don't intend to use anymore (the adaptor blew up when plugged in, and although I don't know whether this did any harm to the charger itself, I'm not going to take the risk). Is that any use to you?

Thanks for the offer but I think Dave above has sorted me out.
 Mind you out of curiosity what type of thread is it( I do hate junking anything that might be recycleable lol)

Ah, it doesn't have threads, it has bays for sitting the batteries in. I take it you were just wanting 510 connection type battery chargers, then? If so, apologies, I didn't realise.

[richieh]

ATM only have 510 batts yes but as I have a serious addiction to anything shiny electrical/ mechanical and intend to upgrade as soon as funds allow it might be of use to me especially if I can adapt it to use with my remote control batt charger which charges/ discharges cycles and measures pretty much anything known to man.
If you can wait a few days I'll look one up on the web on my days off and see if I can use it( or fix it for you to have back even)
Cheers Richie

No worries. It's an Xtar SP2, if you want to look it up.

just looked it up-I'll happily take it off your hands if that's not too much of a problem- looks ideal for a rebuild for future upgrading of my kit.
 Send me a pm with how much postage funds/ beer tokens you require for it and I'll PayPal you in a day or 2 .
 Many thanks just don't tell my wife- she thinks I've got enough projects on the go as it is

I can post it 2nd class if you'd prefer the cheapest option?

Now you ask! I had a cheapie beginner kit and the battery died just last week and I threw it out. It never crossed my mind someone might find a use for it!
