Title: charger for yellow backpack req
Post by: combat1 on March 20, 2011, 12:49:20 pm

Hi Guys
Anybody know where I can get a charger for the yellow WCW backpack?
The dog has just ripped mine out of the wall and ruined the terminals to the socket.
Preferably one with the right connection to the backpack.
many thanks.

will ring WCW tomorrow, I think a previous post said they didnt sell the chargers, but they are helpful so maybe able to get one.  Failing that I will get a trickle charger and fit the old plug onto it, correct polarity! I am also going to get a spare battery.
Must say the backpack has been fantastic, I use it more and more now, especially as I've just started producing my own water.

WCW dont stock chargers for the old yellow backpack, so went to Maplins, 29 miles!
Very helpful and got a nitro 1000 charger which is currently charging the backpack.
Thanks everyone for your help.

What sort of end is it that fits into the back pack is it the male end on the charger?
