12-battery 1S SuperCharger Completed

Part 1 here.

The remainder of the parts came in, so I soldered up the connectors and elegantly hot glued everything together.  I've been using it for the last couple of weeks, and it's been great!
The Turnigy FC100 micro-heli chargers are the cheapest... at $2, they're less than half the price of the other flavors.
If you're getting connectors for a Walkera, be careful because there are apparently some other vendors that use the opposite polarity of Walkera.
Here's the charge leads soldered onto the tabs.
Totally now I've got 12 charging ports... four each of Eflight, Turnigy FP100, and Walkera.  There's still an open USB port as well!

Note: if you do this, be sure and check the power adapter provides sufficient amperage so that each charging unit can draw 500 mA.
