Are you saying that batteries of the correct size and voltage which
were recharged in an external charger caused the radio to catch or
fire, or at least begin to smoke?


Looked in the manual and it indicates that you should never recharge
the batteries in any other way than indicated, ie, in the radio with
their power-pack, etc!

I think the manual will say somehting like only NIMH batteries should
be recharged in the radio(meaning not nicad or alkaline).


Anyone heard of this before, there were the batteries that were included
with the radio, green eton NI-MH 1100! Guess it's time to go to ebay
for another!

Never heard of it. I suspect something else.
