Ah, I see now. And yes those terminals are very non-intuitive, I can still smell the smoldering chip from last Saturday's mistake 
Did you use point to point wiring or a solderless breadboard? While the latter is very easy I'd be afraid of it coming apart during normal robot operations, that'd be a lousy way to blow a breaker, having your charger fall apart!

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
