[Kenwood] THF6A

[Scott Manthe]

The TH-F6A has a lithium ion, so it's not a good idea to charge it 
constantly. While the battery will not develop a "memory," it will 
develop a shortened life, because lithium ion batteries have a limited 
number of cycles, so charging it every night is not recommended. Buy 
another battery and a aftermarket charger, which are available from 
places like Batteries America.

There are no menu settings to turn of the display.

I've also heard there is a new smaller wall wart charger fore this rig. Finally, I'm totally blind and would like to know if there any menu settings that turn off the display to increase battery life. Unlike most of you, I can operate the rig without looking at it. Thanks. 73.
