Charging The Battery Pack; About Desktop Charger Lamp - Yaesu FT-65R Operating Manual

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be
charged by placing the FT-65R/E in the SBH-22 Rapid Charger desktop cra-
dle, connected with the SAD-20B/C/U/G AC adapter.
A fully-discharged SBR-25LI Battery Pack will be charged completely in
about 3.5 hours (depending on the battery being charged). Disconnect the
SAD-20B/C/U/G from the DC jack and the AC line outlet.
• The SAD-20B/C/U/G is not designed to power the trans-
ceiver for operation (reception or transmission).
• Please be advised that the SAD-20B/C/U/G may contribute
noise to TV and radio reception in the immediate vicinity, so
we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
