AOR-DV10 Battery Life

Any reports on the DV10 Battery Life while in scan mode?

It could be better, i get 5-6 hours out of it.

Same here. I run with the display light on all the time.

I'm getting 5 to 6 also so i guess thats it for this baby.

At least you can plug in to the side of the radio and charge while you listen.

Thats prolly because thats the only battery Yaesu had. I agree it could easily be better one.

why they just used 2000mah one, no idea. Same goes for the airband antenna on a wideband receiver. Their design choices are weird...

And lastly - on batteries, why on earth can't we get 4000-5000 mA batteries when most phones have that size now and are much slimmer than what is package in current receivers/radio's. Which charge in around 1 hour or less. Not the 5-6 plus hours of the AOR.

Comparing to a phone it has got a 4000maH battery, phones use single 3.7V cells the DV10 uses a dual cell 7.4Vbattery, its the watt hours that matter not maH!

Suppose if one had a spare battery, does the memory in the unit erase while you are changing battery packs?

Lol, ofcourse not.. thats stored in a EEPROM

I have asked a simple question and received a valid, descent answer from TMac. Now, would you guess right that I am learning here and your 'lol' answer makes you a bad teacher, at best, despicable attitude.

Wow, relax a bit. You seem too be a bit upset? Anyways, you learned another new thing. Cheer up

Hey Concord1982 !
I absolutely agree with you!
Whenever I tried to demonstrate the opposite of their point of view (as well as c0ne ), they ranted at me and said insolently that I also used a secondary ID as TMAC 20.

Get over with the drama ladies, man up

The advertised Li-Ion battery pack is supposed to provide 2000mAh, but if you look closely, it is only 1800. This photo from the Yaesu website.
What gives?
