Re: Using XV6700 cradle with TP2

So I modified the 6700 charger to hold the battery for the titan and it worked fantastic. After my titan went for a swim and died I got the TP2 and again faced the need for a desktop charger. So I got out my supplies and modified the 6700/titan chargers to hold the TP2 battery. Take a look at the pics!

To modify the battery slot I used a product called "Mold Magic Protoplast Pellets" do a google search for it. Basically it is a jar of white plastic pellets that you put in water to melt down and then mold it into anything you want. I covered the battery in a very thin layer of plastic wrap and removed the top of the charger case. I lined the battery up with the contacts and put a thick rubber band around it to hold it in place. Then I heated and pressed in the Protoplast mold around the battery. Now you have a charger for your TP2 battery.

i wonder if mighty putty would work?
