It does work on another 2500 and I swapped the case on the 2500 in question and it still won't work. Am I missing something? Could the radio...

APX Travel Charger

Has anyone used the APX travel charger (RLN6434). I have the occasional need to charge a battery, but not enough to install a drop in charger.

Does the charger maintain the batteries' fuel gauge and # of times charged?

Thats the idea and the radio, L3276 and remote are all under one roof. We only use two frequencies in the radio, repeated and simplex. But if you toggle through the channels on the radio they are in there more than once.
