XTS2500 in an HT1250 Vehicle Charger?

Post by hutch987 »

I know we have previously discussed the use of the WARIS slim batteries (HNN9013) on the XTS2500's, and the mod necessary to charge the battery in the XTS charger, but has anyone tried putting the XTS2500 radio with that battery on it in an HT1250 vehicle charger, (part # RLN4883B)?

I assume the XTS2500 radio with that battery is the same physical size as the HT1250 and should work, but I want to be sure before I part with my money.

Thanks

Ok, lets try it this way.....does anyone have both an XTS2500 with the slim battery and an HT1250 that they can put side by side and tell me if they are the same size, (width and depth)? If they are, then I should be ok.

Thanks

i just held one up to a pr1500 battery and they look like they will fit but i don't want to put it in the charger without knowing myself. if it helps the pr1500 battery works on my ht1550 radio but the only thing that don't work is the battery meter on the display and my ht1550 battery works on the pr1500.

Yes - using an impress battery in a non-impress charger will cause you to loose the battery
meter function in the radio's display. You may have to cycle the impress battery several
times in an impress charger to restore that function.
