RE: Cycling And Recharging Problem...
It's been so long I can't recall where I got mine, I think Radio Shack. HT uses the same end as a lot of cell phones. I spliced in several ends on one charger wire and am able to use my charger with most any make of battery. Most radios have the diod in line in the charger and you can't cycle the battery while it's installed. You can charge though.
