FT-60R 18650 Battery Pack Desktop Charger

thingiverse

This is a custom-made lithium battery charger adapter, specifically designed to work with the 18650 battery created for the FT-60r radio. You can find the original design on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3413951. The adapter uses nickel strip for the ring terminals and two short M3 screws. It's compatible with a particular type of charger, an 8.4v Li-Ion charger designed to charge two 18650 batteries in series, which can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0777BV3K5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Please note that you should not attempt to connect this charger to an 8.4v supply directly, as it requires a charger specifically designed for lithium-ion batteries. The original charger's wires broke off after some use, so I created a V2 version with improved wiring, which can be found on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4235020.
