The BC213NAC is designed specifically for use with the Icom BC123SA AC adapter. Using a non-Icom or unapproved power supply may damage the charging cradle or your battery. Does the LED change color when the battery is full? Yes, the LED indicator typically shows a solid color (often orange/red) during the rapid charge cycle and will change (often to green) or turn off once the battery has reached its full capacity. Is it safe to leave my radio in the charger overnight? Yes. Thanks to the integrated All-in-One IC, the charger will automatically cease rapid charging once the battery is full to prevent overcharging. Warranty 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Show more
