Battery Charging

[holeinace]

I did not find anything in my pro 96 manual about charging time, when to charge (other than the obvoius), ect......

I was wandering what other people do to extend the live of rechargable batteries.

Most of us charge the batteries outside of the scanner.

And a lot of us charge batteries in the scanner without a single problem in 10+ years.
I usually leave the charger plugged into the scanner overnight.

Some that charged the batteries in the scanner had failures that destroyed the radio.

I have yet to hear of anyone destroying the radio by charging the batteries outside of the radio

Look on page 27 of the manual. It's there. Takes about 16 hrs. to charge your 1800 mAh batterys.6 hrs for 600 mAh and 8 hrs. for 850 mAh.It's all on page 27. I would go with an external charger. Anyway Page 27 of the manual gives you full instructions on charging.
