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 ever charge NiMh cells in a NiCad charger.
It will OVER-CHARGE them every time. However the
radio should have had some kind of an over-voltage
circuit built into it. That said however, after
that experience are you are REALLY going to buy
*another one* of these cheap Chinese made Eton
pieces of junk??? Get yourself a Sony or a Grundig
or better yet a vintage Radio Shack or GE or Panasonic
shortwave. They were built far better than the modern
day crap and their analog tuning is best for swl listening.

I have a few of little portables and this Eton E-10 is by far the best
sounding of them ALL! I can pickup quite a few SW stations and it's been
great as a bedside radio which I use every night. I really loved the
timer and would set it and listen till,,,,,,,,
