Review on πŸ”‹ Efficient Yaesu CD-41 Desk Rapid Charger for VX-8DR & VX-8GR HandHeld Radios by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with the included FT3DR charger for slow or fast charging if you buy a large 12V wall outlet

One of the many problems with Yaesu is that they are cheap when it comes to accessories. Want fast charging? The included FT3DR charger is too weak and lasts all night. Do you want to control without using a battery? It's a shame that the included charger can't handle the power consumption of the radio. So you need a fast charger like this one. But remember, in true Yaesu tradition, they don't contain a CD-41 wall wart. This charging station uses a low-power FT3DR charger, but only for slow charging. If you buy a 12V high current output device, it will simultaneously charge the radio's batteries and provide enough current to actually power the surveillance radio.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Price that breaks a piggy bank
