I recently acquired an FT-817, and wanting to replace the old W4RT battery, I went with HQRP, which fits perfectly.?
I charge it off a 13v power supply, and haven't noticed any problems or overheating.?
?
I wired an inexpensive meter in line purchased off Ebay for about $5.00. With the charge time set to 10 hours, it shows about 280ma.?
?
While I haven't taken it into the field yet, the rig appears to be functioning ok on my desk putting out a solid 5 watts off the new battery.?
