SOURCE: lost power supply

Hi,

If the desktop charger is the version that can accommodate two radios simultaneously similar to the T5000, then the AC wall adapter or the power supply is 9 volts AC.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: Batteries won't charge on new cobra 2VP 270 radios

If radios are brand new then I would take them back to the store for warranty exchange. The other opton is to vist a local radio service center and ask the tech to jump the battery. if the battery falls below a certain voltage it might need a quick jump sart from a power supply with a higher voltage normally 12 volts works well...

Afer waitinf for a long time, take the dead laptop battery out of refrigeratory .
Using clean and soft cloth to dry the battery and get the battery to room temperature (about 20° - 25°)

SOURCE: my charger will not charge

1) Clean the battery contacts on the radio, battery and charger with a pencil eraser.
2) Test the charger by turning the radio on while attached to the charger (do NOT transmit, as this may cause damage to the unit). If the light on the charger comes on while the radio is turned on, you have a good charger, and a bad battery.
3) If the above test detects a bad battery, replace the battery.
4) Not sure if the battery is bad? Trade the battery out of a known good unit into this one to see if it solves the problem.

Cobra microtalk will not charge

this is the sign of a damaged or dead battery pack. they can be rebuilt at Batteries Plus or replaced. I would also try alkaline batteries in the radio before spending money on new battery packs. Most rechargeable battery packs must be kept charged regularly, and should be fully discharged before recharging, or they will be damaged and end up with a limited lifespan. IF you are handy with a multimeter you can check to see that the charger is putting voltage out by placing the probes on the contacts while it is plugged in. especially if the cord is twisted or looks stretched, but generally it is the battery not the charger.

What (low voltage) goes from wall plug into (charger stand)? Thanks, Richard

I don't know what the question is here for sure but the voltage is converted to 12 volt from the wall to the charger. Milliamps is the only variation from charger to charger.

I lost my cobra cxt227 manuals but I need to charge them. Do I charge them with the units on or off? How do I know they are charging?

You're best to charge them powered off. It's healthier for the batteries. Just put them on the charger and give them about 12 hours of uninterupted charging time.

How do i charge my cobra hand held radio

According to Cobra's website, if you are charging the batteries (or battery pack) that came with the radio, charging should take about 15-hours.

If your model came with the desktop charging stand, they state that it is safe to leave them in the stand without fear of over-charging. If your model uses a power cord that you plug into the radio, then they state that you should not leave it connected to the charger for more than 24-hours.

If you follow the link below, it will take you to the Cobra website, where you should be able to download a copy of the manual for your radio. Find your model in the list, then select the "Details" button for that model. A new page will open then select the "Product Specifications" tab, and you will find a link to download the manual.

Hope that helps you out.

Cant charge

first confirm the battery is in properly. then your charger should have an output equal to your battery power, e.g. if the battery is 3.6 v make sure your charger is at least putting out that. make sure the contacts on your charger are making contact on your radio.

What channel do I put the radios on to charge it or how do I charge it? The radios don't seem to charge.

Turn the radios off when you are charging them. The charger may not have the current flow to effectively charge the radios when they are on. If you need to monitor a channel, try charging them one at a time.

Charging batteries

the cobras are meant to work with alkaline cells. You bought nicads which are a lower voltage per cell (1.2 to 1.38). Alkalines are about 1.55-1.58

That is why your rechargeables only show a quarter charge, because their terminal voltage is lower and the radio thinks they are not fully-charged.
