Re: [RCSE] Radio Charging Error-advice please

[Richard Hallett]

Most radios and modern equipment have a diode in them just for this 
accident.  In which case the battery is in the same condition as when he 
started and the fuse is still good.

Put it on the regular charger and charge for the right time and you should 
be all set.

You'd think so, but apparently not because he already said his radio is 
okay:

I already put the 'correctly charged' battery in the TX that was on the 
Hitec
charger and everything works fine.
He'd be better off if the fuse had blown, but it sounds to me like the fuse
held, the battery charger reverse-charged his pack, and probably ruined it.
