My charger for E6000 Shimano STEPS battery has stopped working.

Looking on line, I see the new chargers have a smaller battery connector, not compatible with the old one.

Worse still, the adaptor costs almost £40, incredible for a small plastic and metal item.

The obvious question is, can I adapt another non Shimano 4 pin 42v 3A charger, by connecting the existing battery connector to it ?

Alternatively, does anybody have a good second hand Shimano one for sale ?

Thanks

You might help the flow of help if you post some good, clear photos as well.
Are any of these remotely helpful?

Thanks Andy-Mat for your helpful suggestion. The charger is with my brother just now, as he attempts to repair it.

On your link the e bay one from Germany (used) is the right one .It has an adaptor for the battery. My original doesnot need an adaptor.

Any alternative chargers out there ?

If you managed to put a clear photo or two here, I may be able to help further.
Remember, I do not know what it looks like, my photos were simply what Google found....and really a bit to small....
