It is very important to read the M-88 manual on initial charging and
subsequent charging. This M-88's battery can be damaged by overcharging. I'm
afraid that ICOM left out the battery electronics which both Sony and Nikon
(and others, perhaps) use to permit the Lithium Ion battery to just sit in
the charger. Therefore, you must adhere to the instructions. In most cases,
the battery arrives almost fully charged.
I noted that Hobucken USCG personnel were wearing the M-88, although I
suspect they may be carrying an "intrinsically safe" version.
