thanks for the responses guys -- I picked up a ni-mh peak charger from a local hobbyist shop. It didn't have the mini-tamiya connection I needed, but it had some aligator clips that I was able to use with the stripped wires from the original chinese charger.

I've got another question, though... smart peak chargers are supposed to sense the correct voltage and charge time, correct?

my only confusion is that the voltmeter on the charger went up to ~9.6 volts which alarmed me so I stopped the charger before it was finished.

The battery is marked as only 8.4 volts. Is it possible that the battery is now outputting at 9.6 (and maybe putting a bit more wear on the aeg motors and gears), or would a more likely explanation be that the voltmeter reading was only displaying the output voltage from the charger?

In any event, the gun is in working order, so I'm happy!

Now if I could just get this stock tightened up!
