Red Charger w/GMP batteries

[Brian Shephard]

So...I have two Global Media Pro Li160DS Batteries for my Epic. I also have their DynaCore - 2 position charger, which is now crapping out. One side doesn't charge at all, and the other side is becoming intermittent. So now I'm looking at a new charger. I'd ultimately like to just get some Red Bricks and a Red charger, but to save $, I'd like to buy in stages. My Global Media Pro batteries are still working fine, so I could just buy the charger for now. Will the Red (v-mount) charger charge these ok?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

I'll try test it today, I have GMP's/GMP Charger and a RED charger with bricks on set. I'll load the GMP's onto the RED charger and see what happens.

Thanks Roy. I appreciate it.

Just tossed one on the charger seems to work fine. Will be an hour or so till its charged up but so far so good.

I remember I had problems when I brought just one charger and both Red and GMP bricks. I don't remember if I had GMP or Red charger and I was charging on a motorhome under a big generator. Possibly not the more stable electricity, specially when hair dryers and multiple computers were used at the same time. But after having an abnormally slow charge on the differently branded battery, I personally only charge Red bricks on Red charger and GMP with GMP and If I was you I'd buy a GMP again. Mine (Dynacore charger and 160W batteries) never had problems in 1 and a half year

Try to stay away from GMP at all possible-They are a SCAM company-Says on their website-2-3 for orders to US and took me over 3 weeks to get my order-Also once they get your money they rarely answer your email-Thumbs down for this company

MG1 Concept is selling the same batteries it looks like on the site, just new stickers. might be better to buy them from a US based dealer.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I'm ok buying another Dynacore charger. Just not directly from GMP. The last time I bought from them, I could only wire transfer, and that was quite a fee. And shipping from NZ...
I found one (about $10 more) on Amazon. Maybe for the price, I'll just give it another chance. Mine started having problems after about 18 months. Maybe this one will do better.

Roy - did your Red charger charge the GMP batts without problems?

bought Dynacore charger from the LA dealer, but forgot the name.
I can dig out if you still needed.
