The FT-60R does not have an internal charger. You must have something else going on. A bad wall wart or bad battery, perhaps?
For reference....
FT-60R's manufactured before early 2013 came with a wall wart that can be plugged into the DC jack to charge the battery.
FT-60R's manufactured after that can not be charged by plugging a wall wart (or a cigarette lighter adapter) directly into the radio. The charging scheme was modified to comply with a California law requiring charging devices to automatically shut-off if the charge voltage is over 5v. Apparently, Yaesu removed the connection from the DC jack to the battery to accomplish this. These units are supplied with a drop-in charging cradle (with auto shut-off) that is powered by a wall wart.

The internal battery charger has quit working on my trusty FT-60 HT. Has
anyone else dealt with this problem? If so, can it be fixed without
sending the radio back to Yaesu. Any info appreciated.
