Hey guys,

I was wondering about something. I noticed that when I took apart one of my switches with a charging jack, it looked exactly the same as my other switch but without a charging jack. So basically what I did was I soldering everything the way they looked on the one with the charging jack, but it went wrong. Instead, it's now a switch that you can change from one receiver battery pack to a different receiver battery pack. Did I solder anything wrong? Is it possible to add a charging jack to the switch? LMK. Thanks!

The wiring is internal. When the switch is in the on position it puts power to the receiver but no connection to the jack. In the off position, the charging jack links to the battery pack, and no power goes to the receiver.
It needs to be a double pole/double throw switch.
