can you charge just the battery without the radio in the holder? I would like to have one battery charging while another battery is in the radio.

You cant put the radio in the holder that I know of. You have to charge the battery out of the radio. I have a charger, two batteries and a radio. While one is in the radio the other is in the charger.

just put battery in the desk top charger. Make sure it is in the slots at the back and watch the charging light it should change color

Yes you can the charger has vertical slits on either side that hold the battery pack in place. Aloha

Before you do anything, make sure you align the battery up with the charger. If you look along the sides of the battery pack you will see to ridges or slots that align up with the protrusions inside the charger. This allows a proper alignment. You probably already did this, but give it another try. Also try it without the radio. Use just the battery. You don't need the radio to charge the battery. It may be easier for you to try the alignment that way. If all this fails, Purchase another charger. Go to 409shop.com, radioditty.com , or even amazon.com to search for the proper charger for your radio. Not to worry, there very cheap. Good luck!!!

There is no charger. You can wind it up and it will generate power for itself or you can plug your phone into it using a usb cable. It will charge your phone. Also, there is a battery compartment if you'd like to run the radio on batteries instead of winding it up. There is no charger.

Actually there is a separate charger that you can use to charge only the battery by itself, but you have to buy it separately. It's listed in Sony's accessory catalog.

Yes. the radio recharges the rechargable batteries while they are inside the radio as long as the radio is plugged in. It takes about three to four hours. I am still on my first pair of batteries and they have been recharged about ten times or so. I am not sure that batteries charge if you are plugged in and listening to the radio though.

Yes but they have to be charged via the camera. That means you can charge one battery at a time while it is connected to the camera unless you buy a separate charger. So...if you are hoping to charge one battery and use the 2nd battery on the camera while the first one charges your out of luck.

I use mine in a DirecTV remote control with an RF converter, and the battery fits in a tube that also contains the radio frequency device. I bought a charger from the battery supplier, and the charger only accepts the battery if it's in the RF tube; so I tried charging it that way, and it worked, with no apparent damage to the RF device. Whether that works with all devices? I have no idea.

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

The radio had its own "built-in" charger. All it requires is the placement of said batteries and plugging the adapter in will do the trick. If you wish, a sepatate battery charger can be purchased at an electronics store but is not necessary.

I have not located a charger, however one is not needed. This battery serves to store the energy generated by the dynamo hand crank. Put this in your radio and charge with an AC to DC transformer for the radio.

It ok to do either one , the battery it self has a limited number of charges. I keep mines charged haven't had any problems with it.

Sorry, I didn't use it to only charge the batteries. I just use for devices with the AA or AAA battery.

oh do you mean but the batteries and charger separately and not the actual radios? not sure, usually companies like Cobra sell it as a bundle. or you could buy regular AAA rechargeable batteries and it's own charger and put them in when charged. like Santo Eneloops or Powerizer

As far as I know you can power it with a USB but not charge the batteries. I occasionally use a stand alone, rechargeable power source for mine.

Yes. It is just a ac adapter that plugs into the radio and charges the battery.

The radio has a rechargeable battery that has a charging cradle that sits on a desk or counter and plugs into the wall to charge. You can also use regular alkaline throw away batteries as well. I only use the rechargeable battery and charger, works great. I hope that helps, Mike

No, you can only charge the battery by removing it from the camera and using the AC charger.
