so far i've ordered the following:
Size M Panel-mount Coaxial DC Power Jack
Size M Coaxial DC Power Plug (2-Pack)

my intention was to wire these to adapters to connect to my modified pitbox. the other option is to use a 12 VDC 500 MA REGULATED POWER SUPPLY. i have yet to confirm that this particular power supply would be adequate.

my custom adapter for my modified pitbox is made from 20ga paired wire with banana plugs to connect to the 12v jacks on my pitbox with the above dc power plug and jack to be installed in the base changer.

here are the parts for my adapter wires
Flexible Banana plugs (2-Pack)
Banana Jacks (2-Pack)

crap.... i fired my mini-z lit charger trying to do this mod. i have since bought a piharana digital peak charger and moved all my micro's to deans polarized plugs so i won't be using the stock chargers anymore.

please, if anyone will finish this mod, please feel free to use this thread if you want.

You'll be much happier on that charger, its amazing for the price. I can't believe you didn't have a good peak charger with the size of your rc collection?!

I've been charging on my triton so not me. Seems more people do proper chargers for epoch than for micro-t...
