I have four Uniden radios, a BCD160DN & BCD325P2 - both new as of this past weekend & two BC125AT's which I've had for several years.
I have been using the Ikea LADA 2450 mAh rechargeable batteries in the two 125's forever & have had no issues at all. When I try them in the 160 & 325, the radios boot up & then shut off immediately. If I put in a set of old 1900 mAh Eneloop's in the 160 & 325 they work fine, the Uniden supplied batteries work fine as well. They also work with a USB battery bank.
Do these radios have a maximum capacity limit of some type? The cells have a full charge, they run any other radio just fine.
If I try to charge them in the radio it gives BATTERY ERROR. The Eneloop's & Uniden cells charge fine, altho I have two dedicated battery chargers for all my Ni-MH cells.
The Ikea LADA 2450's are made in Japan (supposedly by the same factory as the Eneloop's) and are quality cells. I've never had any issues with them until now - with these two new radios. I've run them in several GRE & Whistler radios as well with no issues.
