When the unit is inserted in the charging base with flashlight switch off, the flashlight flickers (very annoying). Flashlight works normally at other times. Is this normal?

I have had the same problem, but it seems to be sporadic. It could go weeks without doing it. I have tried to bend the contacts out on the back of it, and currently, I am in search of a replacement battery. The current one only lasts about 20 min off of the charger, and cranking it doesn't power it for more than about 3 min.
Anyone know of a place to get replacement batteries for this, other than through Vector? I cannot return the radio, as it is a couple yrs old and the receipt is long gone!

The reason why the lights 'flicker' is because if your power goes out, the light on the radio will come on when it detects no power to the charging base. This is a feature to many new emergency radio gadgets. Imagine a storm rolling through your area and the power goes out in the middle of the night. Your Vector radio's LED lights come on so that you aren't searching for the radio in the dark.
