I charge thru the adapter port once in a while but usually I just go directly to the battery and charge it on my peak charger. Don't waste your time with the USB charge it's worthless.

If you have the stock battery you need to rig up a charger link because of the plug style.

Like ponch said, charging by the usb is terrible.

I'd be sure to check the polarity of the plug first. Make sure your + and - are not switched up.

On the plug above I removed the pin shield so the 2 male pins are exposed. Double check the polarity if your charger does not.

I either just leave it in the radio box (safest) or I will run it down the side of the mudgard on my buggy (more risky).
