Accessories Bad EVO Cradle

I just got my new EVO Cradle form Hong Kong via eBay. It has one flaw: The extra battery charging compartment is slightly too long. This makes for a poor contact and it shows the battery full and will not charge.

from eBay identifying the type. It's the cradle with the sloping battery tray.

P.S. If someone would please explain to me how to get a URL for a picture so that I might add a pic in future posts I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you
