Battery Charging; Low Battery Indication - Yaesu FT-65R/E Operating Manual

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the SAD-20 AC adapter to the SBH-22 desktop charger, and place
the FT-65R/E in the desktop charger cradle.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours. Disconnect the
SAD-20 from the EXT DC jack and the AC line outlet. If you use the SBH-22
Rapid Charger, a fully-discharged pack will charge completely in 2.5 - 3 hours
(de-pending on the battery being charged).
Important Note
 The SAD-20 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re-
ception or transmission).
 Do not leave the SAD-20 connected to the transceiver for continuous
periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade
the Li-Ion battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life (European
and Asian versions).
 Please be advised that the SAD-20 may contribute noise to TV and ra-
dio reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its
use adjacent to such devices.
 As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become
lower. When the battery voltage is becoming too
low for reliable operation, the "
on the LCD display, indicating that the battery
pack must be recharged before further use.
 Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the "
" indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-
Ion battery pack.
