CD47 charger


 

I just purchased an cd-47 charger which has 3 contacts and will charge my current Li-ion battery which also has 3 contacts. However, all new Li-ion batteries show 4 contacts! Will these newer batteries properly charge in my 3 contact charger? Or do I have to find a cd47 with 4 contacts?

Currently I have no working NiMH batteries for my ft60.

Thanks Rudi

The Yaesu CD-47 was designed for NiCD and NiMH chemistries.

Li-Ion requires a much different algorithm to properly charge packs properly.

Clint,

The charger the correct charger is for the Li-ion battery.
A/ it was purchased as a Li-ion charger
B/ The contacts are for Li-ion (contacts for Nimh
are reversed) E.g the Nimh battery would not 'fit'
C/ Everybody (Amazon and Ebay), sells the cd-47 as the li-ion charger.
Some chargers have 4 contacts, some 3, all are listed as Li-ion.
I suspected that the 4 contacted chargers would do both types, but that seems to be wrong.

My (new) LI-ion charger has double contacts on the left side and my ancient
Nimh charger has them on the right side, no mistake to make.


My Li-ion charges correctly to 8.1 volts (a little low).? The supplied
wallwart will charge it to 8.4 volts.

The Yaesu/Vertex-Standard CD-47 is a NiCD/MiMH charger.

Yaesu has not manufactured a “CD-47” for Li-Ion.

From who did you purchase?

Yes, as Clint said. Yaesu CD-47 is a NiCd/NiMH charger.

I am not even aware the Yaesu ever made Li-ion battery pack for FT60 so a Lion charger would make no sense.

There are several so called CD-47 charger that claim to be for Yaesu radios and can charge Li-on packs on amazon/ebay/aliexpress. These are not made by Yasesu and who knows what they really are.


 

Clint,
I happened to have purchased it from ebay.
I queried for li-ion ft60 charger, both ebay and amazon
showed the cd-47 as the charger 3 contact charger with the double contact on the
left side. My litium battery has the correct contacts. My
old Nimh has the double contacts on the opposite side.

Left new cd-47, right original charger from my ft60.
My li-ion battery fits only the left charger.
