Default installing new batteries in VHF battery packs ?

Larry, will the fact that the charger was designed for NiCads be a
problem? If it's a "trickle" charger, will it fully charge NiMH
batteries, just take longer?




No problem at all. Even the simplest NiCD charger will charge them fine.
Being much larger, they charge at a slower-than-design rate, which makes
their charging even less destructive than normal. I have an old Yaesu FT-
727 ham walkie with a rebuilt Ni-Mh battery pack that's one of the first
NiMh batteries I ever saw. It charges and runs great!
