Hello.
I bought a used AOR AR-DV10. The battery drains in 4 hours on both analog and digital without the backlight on all the time.
Is it possible to power several (ten) hours from an external power supply?

Connecting the power supply to the right or to the charging cup ?

Easily, since it charges by USB. Just use a 20,000 mAh phone powerbank thing. I've done this with both the TRX1 and BCD436hp scanner before.

Yes, mine is always connected to the included power supply with the “AA” battery case without batteries

What is the outer and inner diameter of the plug?
The outer diameter of the plug from AA-10E is smaller than the socket in the scanner and there is no reliable contact. But when there is, there is such an indicator:

I too recently purchased this little toy. I wanted to suggest that, at least with my dv10, just ignore that after 4 hours the stock battery icon becomes empty and the battery will still last between 1.30 and 2 hours. It is the measurement that is wrong (the same happens with PS5 controllers). However, about 6 hours is still short.
Can I ask if you can get the linked group scan and the linked search group scan to work? Neither of those work on mine. Normal scans and search scans work correctly, but when after linking two groups together the linked scan does not start, only the normal scan always starts. I guess it's a bug, but before I write to support I would like to find out if it happened only to me, since I can't find anyone on the net complaining about this problem
