?Hello All,
I had some of my items placed in storage (since 2017) and now I went to the storage unit and found a box with a lot of FT-60R related items. Some batteries, and the Vac-370 rapid charger, and some other items. Naturally I brought that box home with me.
Now I placed the batteries into the charger and I was surprised that for the most part the original Yaesu batteries had held their charge at 8.1v. That is 3 years (minus a couple of days) in non-climate controlled situation.
One battery is not happy. I put it into the charger and it goes till 6.1 v and then the light on the charger starts rapidly blinking red. This is not an original Yaesu battery so I’m not too concerned about it. I am thinking of discharging it and then go for a full charge and see if it’s happier that way.
Can the Vac-370 recondition batteries? If yes, how do I make it do so?
Also, does anyone have a manual for the Vac-370? I looked online and all the sites look shady enough not to stay to download anything.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
