Quansheng UV-R50 charge battery (new radio)

[scott123]

Hi … I know literally nothing about this radio, and the manual isn't much help. Just one of those cheap ($25) Quansheng UV-R50 handhelds. Anyway, I'm trying to charge the battery. All I did was put battery into radio, and then put radio into charging station. Radio is turned off, and the only thing showing is a red light on the charger. No display on the radio. Is this right .. seems like it is, but I figured I'd see some sort of indicator on the radio display that it's charging. Thanks for any info from anyone who may know about this radio.

Typically the LEDS are "idiot lights" it will be red until the pack is fully charged ,then will turn green ,if the battery is bad it will blink red on off well that pack is in the charger ,I don't own that radio ,however the above is what usually happens with HT batteries ,you will not have any indicator on the radio itself ,some chargers will accept and charge batteries without the radio present , planning on having a spare on charge well using the radio ,I have not seen a CCR that has the ability to fast charge or charge packs alone .so it's probably just an idiot light ,you can normaly open the box and turn the radio on ,batteries are shipped with a full charge ,so unless it sits a real long time on a stores shelf the battery will have power when you get it,so if you want to confirm it works just take it and turn it on .
