Love this radio but recently opened the Eton Ni-MH1100 rechargeable
batteries and installed them, set the system setting for rechargeable
and it does not recharge. After leaving plugged in overnight still
only .3V measured on two batteries and 0v on two others? WTF?

Anyone using the rechargeables in their E10, did I miss something
in the setup?


Thanks!

Just using system setting 28 for NIMH won't let the radio charge them.
The somewhat complicated process for charging the batteries is
described on page 8 of the manual.
Part of the "Getting Started" section.

The built-in charger is slow as can be, even when working correctly.
I use an outborad charger for mine. Also, that power supply is very
noisy and will reduce performance of the radio considerably.

James: Did you push the charge button and make sure that the S-meter
was scanning back and forth? It is easy to think that this radio is
charging when it is not.
