interesting I can see several being sold on Amazon for the 14.8V version and they look like standard laptop chargers. Unfortunately they have different amp and volts specified. There specification labels taken off and an inflated price add.

Marko have an excellent customer service often replacing things just out of warranty


I would contact them First and see how much they would charge. (pun intended)

i would but the battery did not come with it's original charger. also the battery blow up. the battery had been modified by the previous owner. i had been having trouble trying to get the battery to work all the time. i was provided with a imax B6AC charger for charging it. but two nights ago when i was trying to charge it again. i checked on the battery after it had been charging for a couple of hours and i noticed that the battery wasn't looking right some how. when i checked it over it was swollen at the sides. i then heard it starting to hiss and thought that sounds like it is going to leak or something. i went to take it out of the living room.
i got just out off the living room door with it and i saw smoke starting to come out of the battery. so i quickly opened the front door and it was starting to smoke more. i quickly put it on the path in front of the out side door. i stud up and the battery blow up in to flames. my god what a flame it was as well. huge it was like a rocket going off. it actually blow up twice with masses of black smoke. scared the life out of me. if i had been holding it for a second or two more i would of been really badly burnt. or the house would of been on fire. it took ages for the thing to stop burning/smoking. i was throwing large dish after dish of water on it.

i can not stop thinking. if i had left it for a minute longer to charge and because of the way the battery blow up. i would of lost the hole house. there was no way i could of done anything with the huge flames that was bursting out of that thing.
here is some photos i took of it after i got it to stop smoking.


P.S. i have bought a new battery from off line. i just need the charger to go with it now.

Very impressive! This is why airlines are so nervous about lithium batteries. When they go, it's pretty spectacular.

For a 14.4-14.8V battery pack you probably want an 16-18V charger @ 0.5 - 1 amp. The battery pack should have a charging circuit built into it to regulate and monitor each battery cell.

In 30 years, some treasure hunter will find the remnants of your battery and trigger suspicions of an UFO drone landing.

I remember on the the news a few years ago some poor guy's phone went off in his front pocket. A security video caught the whole episode, it looked like fireworks going off. He's probably retired after settling with Samsung.

I have had this charger on my bench for a few years and has been very useful. It does 3.7v, 7.4v and 14.8v. Not sure if they make a 220VAC version?

Hi Altra
thanks for the battery charger links. i have found another website that sells the charger for the Golden King. here is the link. i don't know if it fits in with the specifications of the two chargers in your links though.

The Nokta charger charges at a rate of 1A. The Tenergy chargers are 500mA. All this means is the original charger will recharge twice as fast as the Tenergy. I prefer a slower charge, less heat which adds to the life of the battery. I am confident it will work for you. All you need to do is put the proper connector for your battery . What are the specs of your new battery?

It looks like the battery is rated at 14.8v 3200mah. It would take a little over three hours to charge at 1amp. I was wrong in the last post the Tenergy charger(2nd link) is 1amp. Same as the Nokta. The no name in my first link is 500ma with a six hour charge time. Either would work.
