I don't find any such language in the manual. What page? Perhaps different
versions? Of manual? Or radio? Not sure. By the way, I went to the
trouble of measuring the output from the charger and find no voltage and no
current being passed once the LED is glowing.

Thanks, Bob, I'll forward this to the fellow who gave me the guidance.
Still, why the language in the manual?

| Bob,
|
| First, I am referring to the drop-in charger that comes with the radio. If
| you think it can't damage the battery, you are "dead" {;^)) wrong. The
| aviation and marine marketing manager for ICOM sent me an email
emphasizing
| that I not overcharge the battery. He says not to leave the battery in the
| charger. If you are talking about the more expensive desktop charger which
I
| think can handle multiple batteries, then I plead ignorance.
|
| Under no conditions should you leave the battery in the charger past the
| time limits in the manual. Why do you think they are there? It's silly
with
| today's technology to have to time the charge, but that's it.

|| Ron, actually Icom's charger for the M-88 (a desktop drop-in style) fully
