Excalibur 1000 charging the battery options

[Africa]

Yeah me thinks that the system of charging this machine was not thought about too much by the guys who developed this model of machine, the reason why I say this is;

When I plug in the charger of the machine and connect it to the battery port, there is no colour light that comes on to indicate at what stage the battery is, in other words is it completely flat, is it in the charging mode and in fact charging and you do not know when it is fully charged.

Thus I feel the charger after a while to see if it is warming up and then just charge the battery for nine hours.

I will like to hear from you all, what options do we have and what works for you?
Thank's

Gee I was going to order one still I seen the Shipping charges amount and they also charge taxes, so not for me.

I guess that all you have to do is splice on the end which hooks up to your battery? Correct?

I would use this charger. It works great. All you have to do is buy the correct adapter which he also sells. This will also charge a GT according to his website. It charges my excal NiMh battery in 1.5 hours.

This is the route I went, then installed it in my old battery holder, last twice as long as original, charges in half the time.........
