I've modified all my past Tx cases with a power jack connected directly to the batteries to charge the AA cells in the radio. Many radios now do include a charge jack, but there is diode protection which keeps a "real" charger from reading the pack voltage (it shows as 0v), so this type of mod is necessary.
