3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but fragile, November 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Motorola NiMH Rechargeable Battery Upgrade Kit for T6200, T6300, and T6400 Series Radios (56319) (Electronics)

First let me say that the T6220 radios I have are outstanding. This review, however, is for the rechargable battery system.
Firstly; it works and works well. I have owned it for a year or so, and the batteries have performed splendidly. I have a complaint and recomedation for new buyers: The snaps are fragile, and will eventually break. There is a piece that comes with this kit that has the plug on one end (that goes into the wall outlet) and the 'snap' on the other that snaps onto the radio for recharging. This 'snap' piece is quite thin, and if you use the radio with any regularity you will be snapping and unsnapping your radio quite a bit, and it will break. I can only recommend two remedies;
1- Don't lose the piece that breaks off. You can superglue it back on and it will be fine until it breaks again.
2- ALWAYS use the BASE that comes with this kit. What the base is is this: a big thingamijig that is for wall mounting and the like. You only have to snap the fragile snap thing i spoke of earlier into the base once, so you avoid breaking it. It is quite sturdy, but be careful when removing the radio from the base so you don't rip off the battery cover (the base is strong and wont let go of the radio. It attaches to the radio via the battery cover). To remove the radio from the base more easily, wedge a finger between the radio and the base in the area of the battery cover.
Overall, its still good, and it beats buying batteries.

This charger and battery work very well and charge quickly. Much better than using batteries in your radio. Well worth the purchase. If you have two radio, likely you could get along with only one charger and an extra battery.
