Battery charger where is the location for battery charger plug in the watch radio model FRS22-HH

Hi,

On you're AC adapter unit, there should, if it's a good one, have a switch with a + & - signs indicating the polarity you require to use.

Further to this, does your radio have an AC recharge point. Some of these units don't have this capability, but in your case it may.

This is usually found on the side of the radio.

If there is no such point, then what you need is to buy rechargeable batteries with the appropriate charger, you can't just use any charger for these batteries, else you'll damage them.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Peter

Similar problem, solved when dirty contacts were cleaned, look for some corrosion on either the battery pack or in the radio battery holder. Use very fine grit sand paper.

also check to see if a tab on the battery holder contact is bent inward (radio dropped perhaps)

Here is the location of a manual for your equipment:

What you need is at the VERY least is a Ni-Cd battery pack with 600mA/hr rating. We have an HH-300, with a configuration of 4AAx2.

Interstate Batteries has the BEST price I could find, although when we bought the HH-300, I sent it to SiTex for a new battery AND a tune-up which cost around $100.
Here's the link to the Interstate battery website.

Hope this helps.

(EDIT)
Do NOT forget that these radios are wired center pin negative! (Don't ask how I found this out...)

I have a Cobra HH-40 CB radio and am charging it as I type. The included charger is rated at 16V DC, 100mA. The pattery pack charges 10 AA rechargable batteries (the manual specifies NiCd, but you can also safely use NiHM). The 12V DC car charger included cannot be used to charge the battery pack, but can power the radio.

the voltage for the charging is 12 volts dc the charger is a 110 volt dc 12 volt to the radio if you lost your charger you can get a aftermarket at any radio shack store just be sure you take the walkie with you when you go so they can match up the rdio plug end.

A close but not a perfect match....

If you can't find the right adapter, you can probably get one of the universal adapters that will work.

Much more talk time than the original batteries.

Hello you can recharge the batteries only if the bateries you are using are rechargables, this could be Bat recharg. 2AA or 3AA or a pack.
