The Alexander SM12000 Smart Charger is shown in the new Alexander catalog. It is supposed to rapid charge a battery at a 450 mAh rate. A 500 mAh battery will be fully charged in 1-1/2 hours. A red light indicates the battery is being charged, and a green light means the battery is ready to use. A low, 9 mAh trickle charge keeps the battery fully charged until it is removed. Alexander sells charging sleeve inserts for various batteries, including Icom, so I wouldn't junk the charger. The crystal and ICs might be for timing the charge. -- ============================================================================ Bob Parnass, AJ9S - AT&T Bell Laboratories - att!ihuxz!parnass (312)979-5414
