JediMasterTim's Wiring Diagram

Make sure you orientate the jack exactly like the picture, with the middle prong on bottom, this must be battery negative. The right hand prong must be the positive for both battery and electronics. The left hand prong must be electronics negative. This propper orientation is critical to getting this set up correctly. The way you keep drawing your diagram you can't tell if you middle prong is facing the bottom or the top, and makes it look to me like you are wiring it backwards.

thanks, I'll make sure I wire it that way.

EDIT: so for any more electronics, I keep the current flowing in a loop, with the negative of any electronics ahead of the recharge port flowing back to electronics negative, right?

Correct.

ok, cool. now for the charger, is there some special charger I have to but from radio shack that plugs into an outlet?

Whatever is appropriate for the item. There are specific Nimh and Li ion chargers with specific voltages. Match your type and voltage and you should be good.
