[Yaesu] Charging a new battery for VX5R

[Ray Brown]

  I think I mentioned that I also had a problem with my VX5R. I bought a
new battery from AES, and mine does the same thing. Not sure what to
make of it, since it does seem to completely charge up.

Got a new battery for the HT.  Plugged in the wall charger and the expected
message ³now charging² shows on screen. Later (not sure how much later) the
message ³charge error² instead of the usual ³charge complete² shows up.
Query the battery charge function and it states 7.2 volts ­ radio seems to
have received a charge, jut not sure how complete or why the error keeps
showing up.

Yaesu said first to just ³disconnect and then re-connect² the wall wart
which I did and it accomplished nothing.

Any one with similar problems and/or solutions?

Thanks in advance...
