Review on Motorola WPLN7080A APX Single Unit Charger Supports 120V AC Charges Impres Battery (Black) by Chad Boho

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolute junk, good for CB and radio equipment

This charger is absolute junk. I bought 4 radios and this charger. I noticed that the charging lights turned green either immediately or within a few minutes of plugging in the radio (green means it's charged and red means it's charging). All I could think of was noticing my radios being randomly turned off during the day. I sent the radio back assuming something was wrong with them and received a brand new set. Of course, this problem persisted, so I turned off the radio. I found that when I used the small chargers that came with the walkie-talkies, they worked all day with no issues. So after adding 2+2 along with the displays on the RLN6309 I figured the charger itself must be bad. I sent the charger back to Revain and they were kind enough to replace it. The second brand new device came to me and it was even worse. I never get a red light. It will not charge radios under any circumstances and the new unit was worse than the bad one I originally had. The Motorola quality in this case is terrible. Motorola has always been known for its durable quality and it certainly doesn't live up to its name. They lowered the price and released an awful product with no quality control or real unit testing. If I could be compensated for this I would, but unfortunately I'm not able to :-(PROS: Cloning works as advertised. CONS: Costs no fees and is completely useless to get your radios working with this product - be alert!

Pros
  • Handy article
Cons
  • Basically ok, but...
