Battery Pocket adapter

Anyone know if these can be swapped on to a MTX800 rapid charger to make a Saber charger?

What radios do you own?: MTX810, HT600, MX300 series

Nope. The charger pocket on an MTX800/ Genesis charger is molded into the whole plastic top.

No it won't work. These units are made for dropping into the existing pocket of an MX, STX or AX-DX KVL charger without any modification so they could charge the Saber series line. More importantly the above line all use a 7.5 volt battery. The MTX800 is a 10 volt battery. Also the pocket sizing is different which would require not only modifications but reworking the electonics to make it viable.
