You'll probably have to make your own. I'm not sure if you can find one with the same ends. For my small packs I made an adapter that has a Tamiya connector (the big white ones) at one end and a small male battery plug at the other which works just fine.

Do not use that charger on your CP nimh batteries. I'm pretty sure it is only for 6 cell nicad RC vehicle packs.

What you want for a good all-around charger is a Vision Peak Ultra or an Ice, they support nicad, nimh, and lipo chemistry. The nimh will plug right into it (after you make an adapter) and it will auto-detect cell count and peak them. For lipos, you really want a Hyperion balance charger between the packs and the charger.

Better yet for a BCP the best solution is to go with Common Sense RC's 3S lipo packs and their dedicated lipo charger. The charger is $89 and the packs are the best lipo prices I've found, I love these packs. Running 1250's.

I think the charger I have does support nimh. Will any of these conectors fit? http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/HZ/eflite/eflite_connectors/

If the charger you have is the one in the first post, you'll need the Tamiya to JST female connector. That would work fine.
Use this:

If your batteries look like this:

I stand corrected - the Mega 1 will charge nimh

I have one and did not know this. HOWEVER - nimh's should only be charged safely at 1- 1.5C charging rate. That charger cranks 4 amps. I would not use that charger for these little packs . . .

i have the same heli and i am using a MRC 959 and it handles it perfectly
i just cut the lead off the stock charger and made a connector with a tamiya plug works perfect
