Yea, that’ll charge your zippy batteries Sean. In fact I’ve got a similar version of that charger myself.
That’s a very good price, :?: …………if you’re confident of the seller, go for it.
(You’ll need an AC adapter if you want to charge the batteries in your house……….the charger only works on an input of 12v DC)
The good part is that you would be able to charge your Zippy batteries from your car battery when you are out flying. :)

Are you going to Middleton Hall this afternoon as was suggested in yesterdays posting on this thread? Even if you only went there for an hour you could ask lots of questions and get some very good advise.(Much easier to talk to a pilot than type to one)

Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Yes I've got a version of that charger too.
It'll do the job.

I can't get to Middleton today.
Not only is it the other side of Cork from here so it would be over one and a half hours drive, I've also got a big job to finnish here today, and I need the brownie points  :(  :o
