I use a mechanical timer for my charger.? eBay is your friend for one of those. 73JohnKU8Q

At one time I modified an old mechanical (daily) timer by removing the "on" tabs. If you remember - and I assume you are old enough to have seen these archaic devices >40ya - these things were just a

Hi, The chargers that came with both of my FT60's are model #SBH-13 drop-in units and 'seem' to be "smart chargers".? That is, when you insert either a battery or a radio with attached battery, an

Hi Clint, I assume when you say Powerwerx AA you mean Powerex AA I use my HT infrequently – maybe once every two months. Would it be wise for me to leave the 2700mAH MAHA/Powerex AA cells

HEAT is the major enemy of NiMH packs. Left in a dumb/unintelligent charger will, indeed, "cook" them and allow them to get too hot, and cause performance degradation. BatteriesAmerica ffers an

Your welcome Joe. As for the programing you figured out more than me. Don't use it enough to remember, your list is helpful. Thank's! -- Gary KY8M Macomb, MI.

Thanks Phil and Gary --? I'll put the questionable packs back on the FT60 just to make certain they are drained, then, into the charger and pull the oujt as soon as they are charged. And, yes, I'm

Many months of disuse never caused me any trouble. I was as so inactive that I had to re-read the manual annually. Now that I have returned to a reasonable degree of use, I rotate my pair of

I had a similar situation, I just put them back on the desktop charger after they drained. Worth a try. -- Gary KY8M Macomb, MI.
