The X5105 only needs about 600-700 mA for charging at approx 13.8V.

Rick,
At first this seems like a cheap shortcut. However, it gives a lot of flexibility. For example, in addition to what Doug and others have said. You can use a solar panel to charge the built in battery.
Also remember that you have a menu option that turns charging on or off. Just because you have the power cord plugged in does not mean the radio battery is charging.
