Thanks very much DeepCreatures and flipp. I now have a greater understanding of what's going on.
Of course, I still have a (potentially moot and/or stupid) question regarding a possible snag. The battery has one outlet for the charger. Then it also has a built-in female power chord. However, the two holes at the end of the power chord have two different circumferences.
Is this a proprietary feature that will prevent me from inserting the B tip backwards?
- or -
Can I just plug the RS B>Chord>M into the charger's outlet?
If necessary, I could send pictures for clarification.
Again, thanks for y'all's help.
