[Yaesu] More on the Yaesu VX2 battery

[Matthew Schiller]

Nah that's ok.. 1050 is so close to 1000 that's within typical margin=20
of error anyway..


Here's the two things to worry about:

1) Too Low Amp hours  (say <=3D750mah).  The charger will be charging =
the=20
battery too quickly which will decrease battery life and potentially be=20=

a heat or fire hazard..

2) Too high Amp hours (say >=3D1250mah).  Here the battery and the radio=20=

are fine, but since it will take LONGER to charge the radio may=20
indicate a faulty battery.  (Lithium ion battery chargers must stop=20
charging a battery after some amount of time since Lithium Ion=20
batteries can be a safety hazard if over charged [see above])

Basically a bigger battery should never be a safety problem, but could=20=

be an annoyance since the radio might stop charging before the battery=20=

is fully charged [reseting the charger by removing ac power should=20
resolve this issue and allow the battery to finish charging]..
