Just make sure you obtain the actual charger that is compatible with the 880. Here's a good article from years ago: The Tecsun PL-880 charger and battery

You may be able to get this charger from Anon-co in HK. Or obtain a good separate single/dual or multiple port battery charger. Make sure you get one with the correct USB jack -- I think the 880 used the old style USB port, not USB mini or the later USB-C
