I have a set of two Midland LXT420, made in China. One of them have suddenly stop working, doesn't turn on. And about a month after, the second one went OFF. Both batteries are charging till 5.9 yo 6.1 Volts and when unplugged they drop the charge to 5.6 to 5.8, then they hold the charge. I check 12 hours later and the batteries were charged. I install the batteries in other Midland 2W radio and did work just fine. In the manual there is no indication of possible error other than batteries check, when it comes to device not turning on. I am wondering if there is any hint about what could be wrong. There is actually any warranty or repair services that I can send the devices and have a repair quoted? Any help and/or information will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Robert

SOURCE: Battery replacement?

Kris, are you sure that the radio es working properly with other batteries, I mean if you use with 4 AAA batteries does the radio turn on? If the radio turn on, is your battery lasting as ussual? check if the battery contacts are ok, may be one of them could be damaged or rusted. I hope this can help Neto

SOURCE: midland radio battery pack constant vibrate

Hello pjbracht, I just responed to a duplicate of your problem. If they are new, return the battiers and confirm they are "by the book" replacements. If so ask for replacemrnts with a higher mAhr. It is not correct for vibration from a battery pack, lead, NiCad, Ni-MH, period.

The batteries have likely been damaged from being on the chargers too long. Try trading a known good battery into the non-working radios and see if it/they will work with a good battery. If so, replace your batteries, and then only put the radios on the charge when they need a charge, such as after the radios have been used 8-10 hours. Longterm charging can quickly age batteries. Life expectancy of a battery is 18-24 months with good care.

Best regards.
