If your using a Traxxas Power Charger (Revo style charger) and want to
charge that Hump Pack..you don't need that adapter with the Tamiya plug (7.2
v plug adapter) for the hump pack.
That adapter (with the 7.2v Tamiya plug) is to use with the Power Charger to
charge 7.2v batteries, not hump packs (usually 6.0 volts)..

If he has that battery..he would need the adapter with the female end
instead of male.
Need to find out what he is trying to do...with what charger.

The charger is the normal one with the normal connector (my technical
term are really bad, im kind new in the hobby). With the charger I can
charge normal batteries, for example the ones for 1/10 electric on-road
cars.. but because this battery if for a savage truck, I need the
adapter to charge it..

Your charger would need to be able to go down to 1.0amp charge rate or at
very maximum a 1.5amp rate or you will burn up the hump pack.
Also, depending on what kind of charger you have,it may or may not support
NiMH batteries or 5 cell packs.
Here is what I suggest you get if you don't have to have a fast charger.

You can search for them and probably save a few $. The item #90138 usually
includes an adapter Futaba to BEC.
If you want a fast charger and possibly higher MaH battery..
Just buy what battery you want,(will need a Futaba to BEC adapter like the
battery in your link) and maybe one of these..

You can search for Traxxas Charger or Revo Charger and find good deals on
them.
It's what I use to charge my hump packs.
Hope this helps.

Heh... I ended up getting another charger and battery, when I went to find
the charger ebay link.
$23 shipped for a new fast charger and new 1100mah flat rx pack.(I use the
flat packs in the buggies.)
Go figure..
