Is there a way to charge the batteries without being in the radio

Not that I am aware of, midland does not make a stand alone charger to my knowledge, just charge station and power cord for the radios themselves, but radio shack may have something, take a battery with you.

The battery pack can only be charged in the radio handset. However,, you can use rechargeable AA batteries in place of the battery pack. If you decide to use rechargeable batteries, I would suggest getting Sanyo Eneloop batteries. They hold a charge much longer and can be recharged more often than Energizer or Duracell rechargeables.

You need to purchase a BaoFeng "battery eliminator". Do a search for this and you will find one. The battery eliminator will power your radio. To charge the battery you will need to use your charging base with an adapter like this.

absolutely not. take the tape of the batteries. they were charged upon arrival. set the channel number that you want them to use and ready to go -- it is easy easy, great product with good quality and EVERYTHING is there to go!!!

oh do you mean but the batteries and charger separately and not the actual radios? not sure, usually companies like Cobra sell it as a bundle. or you could buy regular AAA rechargeable batteries and it's own charger and put them in when charged. like Santo Eneloops or Powerizer

There is no charger. You can wind it up and it will generate power for itself or you can plug your phone into it using a usb cable. It will charge your phone. Also, there is a battery compartment if you'd like to run the radio on batteries instead of winding it up. There is no charger.

Mine came with a battery charger. Just take the battery out to charge. If yours did not come with a charger, you can buy one that works at Radio Shack

Probably, but at least $10 and you must charge it through the radio. The product does not come with any plug-in wall receptacle accessories for battery recharging or radio playing. The battery I got was apparently dead and/or cannot be charged through the radio.

You can use any standard electronics adapter that can be connected to the radio with a USB cable. The radio has a mini-USB socket for charging. It will only charge rechargeable batteries in the radio and doesn't recharge if the radio is running at the same time.

No. Only via the AC wall adapter. Perhaps you could find a compatible car adapter, but it does not have batteries.

You can charge off the usb. Just read the directions because the radio needs to be in a specific mode.

Unfortunately the radio has to be turned off to charge. Perhaps the charger does not put out enough power to run the radio and keep it charged. That does not necessarily mean you need a new battery. I have found the batteries a lot longer than a year but I try not to fully discharge them.

You have to charge them with an external air sourse, like at a gass station. However a small cigarette lighter plug in type can work if necessary.

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out. I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

Not really. You can easily open the Radio's battery door, remove the battery-pack, insert a freshly-charged battery-pack, and close the battery door, without losing any of your Radio settings. But, the original batteries are packaged as 3 AAA's sheathed together as a single battery-pack, so I don't know if you could easily fit that battery-pack in an external charger. Finally, looking inside the battery compartment, it also looks like you could use 3 individual standard rechargeable AAA's instead of a battery-pack. So no, I don't believe the battery-pack can be easily charged outside the Radio body, but yes, using individually AAA's you can charge the AAA's outside of the Radio, then insert into the Radio and go. I bought the extra charger because I had two Radios but only one charger, and wanted to give one Radio permanently to an elderly neighbor, who therefore needed his own charger. The extra battery-packs are a bonus; I'm saving them for day when the original battery-packs start losing their oomph.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.

Yes. Just run a power and cable from your battery and ground the radio. We install radios is tractors, boats, and vehicles all the time.

No workaround sorry you need a new battery. The batteries on these radios only last a year if you use them regularly. It may appear to be charging when off but it only holds a small charge. Look at the dock if the light is blinking for an extremely long time time to replace it
