Never got the batteries to re-charge via the radio so I dropped the
batteries into my normal AA charger. 12 hours later took them out and
placed them into my radio and !Pffof! smoked the bitch!

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!

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!

The charging method didn't smoke the radio. I use an external charger
with mine and use the really hot silver NiMhs from Fry's.
