I have a Uniden BCD325P2 scanner. I use Duracell AA Rechargeable batteries. The green and gold ones. Have used these for several years
I charge the batteries in a Powerex MH-C9000 charger. Well yesterday I went to change the batteries out of the scanner with ones that were charging in the battery charger. Something that I have done a zillion times.
When I powered up the scanner it came on for a second and turned right back off. I have never seen it do this before. So I repowered it back on.
This time I got a message that said Clearing Memory. Well it did what it said. It totally erased my scanner and I was left with a Nothing To Scan message. All of my systems were erased.
The problem was caused by 1 of the AA batteries that came out of the battery charger after charging all night that wasn't fully charged. The battery must have been bad and wouldn't fully charge anymore.
Fortunately I had a backup in Freescan so I am back up and running.
Not sure what the battery expectancy life is on rechargeable batteries but you may want to check the charge on them when they come out of your charger so that your scanner doesn't get erased like mine did.
