E mag charger question

[DrRich]

Hey!
What is the best alternative to charge my E mag?
I just bought a project E mag (My first E mag), without a charger, and I need to know if I need to spend $80 with AGD or if there is another charger out there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

The Standard AGD Battery Pack is 16.8v 650mAH so...

I have not used it, so I can not endorse it, but by the information provided online and from what I have heard by others here on AO, it works... However, you will need to modify it to connect to the battery clips. Or you could spring for the added adapter with the alligator clips.
