This intelligent rapid mains charger ensures that the battery only receives the correct amount of charge. Charge status is indicated via a multi-coloured LED so you will know whether the battery is fully charged before use. Charger operates between 110-230V. The front pocket accommodates the radio complete with attached battery; the rear pocket accommodates the battery only. Charging commences with the front pocket and when the charge is complete it switches to the rear pocket. Due to the high capacity of the HX Li-Ion battery pack, charge time is between 1.5 - 2 hours.
