New BC6, but need adaptor help!

[ROADSTIR]

I have a new Bantam BC6 and am itching to start using it, but have adaptor questions.

1. I have three different HID lights with Li-ion batteries. Each came with a cheap charger with a round, pin type adaptor that plugged directly into the light. Other than cannibalizing the original adaptors, where can I find new ones? I'd like to find some sort of kit that might have a variety of different "ends" that I can swap out for each type battery I'm charging. Of course, these would be attached to wires/banana plugs going into the BC6. I feel like an idiot, not being familiar enough with the proper names of these parts.

2. I have many small NIMH & Nicad batteries around the house for
a. cordless phones
b. portable radios
c. emergency radios

Most of these batteries have those very small, two pin modular plugs on the wire ends. Is there a name for this type of fitting? The BC6 has a modular port on the that is used to connect these type batteries, I believe. Where can I find these items? I've looked on hobby charger sites and have seen some multi-function adapters, but the pics are so small it's hard to tell if they have a two wire fitting.

Thanks!

Hi Roadstir
I think it would be easier to chop all your cables and give them the same connector.
Leave the original plugs on them and have short pigtails to you lights.

Deans are very low resistance,easy to find plugs.

Else you will have to provide photos of you existing plugs -and they may be only manufacturer specific.

Or do they look like these?

Dom,

Thanks for your suggestions. As for recharging the lithium batteries, I agree that cutting the fittings off the OEM charger may be the easiest way to go. I just feel guilty cutting them up.

Years ago, I thought I'd seen a universal type battery charger that had a charging cord with a "Medusa" type head on the end, with several different fittings. You just chose the right fitting for your battery and charged.

How about the cordless phone and radio batteries? Does anyone know what sort of adaptor I'd need to top up these two pin batteries?
