Nope 👎 the radio won’t get enough voltage to function in the charging cradle without the battery and will just sound the battery alert endlessly. I had multiple radios for 1-2 years in the charger on 24/7 monitoring the local analog police department and nothing happened battery wise
@@OldCBnGuns i had a baofeng uv82hp stuck in that charger for almost 5 years the battery is bloated and the kd-cd1 on charging cable also bloated too bad it wont work without a battery. the battery is cheap. but a hassle. so ill go for quansheng k5(8) which can work without a battery and just a USB-C for monitoring.
can you you use the radio on the charging cradle without the battery? for monitoring only?
