English is not their first language. :) They may not like me charging 
two banks in parallel, but so far, so good. They sold me the charger, 
but maybe they only want me to charge one set of three cells at a time.

I know that I can recharge daily and I don't expect to operate more than 
a few hours each day. The charger folds back at more than 1 amp, so I am 
not concerned about Vesuvius On The Elecraft. I will open the bottom of 
the case while charging, and I assume the hotel rooms all have smoke 
alarms. :)
