I am sure we all have done something like that before.

If the Tx batteries are NiCad/NiMh, it is much better and safer to use a Cycling charger. If the Tx batteries are Lithium, it is totally unnecessary.
I was surprised it caused so much interference to the Apple TVs because the rest of the wifi seemed to work normally on the laptop and Ipads....

But yes it did.....

Batts are 1500 Mah NIMh, (stock with the JR11X) and it wasn't actually for cycling purposes.. I use both radios equally and one seemed like the battery was losing capacity much faster than the other...

So last night I charged both fully and did a side by side comparison this afternoon / evening.. ... Both ran from full charge for more than 7 hours matching voltage drop all the way and hit low voltage alarm within 15 minutes of each other.. I guess the packs are ok..
