It's a loooong story but my FT60 has rarely been used for the past 8-10 years.? We are moving and I anticipate a good bit of operation with it after our move.
?
I have three Yaesu FNB-83 batteries purchased when I bought the FT60 as well as the CD-45 (or is it CD-47 ?) charger -- 7.2 vdc, 1400 mAh.
?
I leave the batteries on the charger until the pilot light glows green showing full charge. ?When the FT-60 is first turned on, the display shows supply voltage. Two of the batteries show 5.4 to 6.0 volts, while one shows 7.2 to 7.8.?
?
The 5,4 volt batteries will last for a couple of hours while listening only, no transmitting.? I guess I should replace the two showing only 5.4 volts when they come off the charger?
