I think this radio uses two different sets of batteries. There is the smaller batteries that store preset radio stations and a larger battery pack to power the actual radio. If your partner had other Makita cordless tools some of those batteries will fit and there will be a charger for them.
I've put a link to a website for a users manual. (try looking at page 3. The larger battery will be a black block which is the same type used for the cordless tools. The squarer battery pack style should slide upwards towards the handle and the rounder shape battery packs should just pull out.
Talk to a good builder or a Trade tool supplier and they may be able to help or order you the power cables you need. If not contact Makita directly and they will be able to help you.

SOURCE: Radio works off battery but charger does not work
I cam working on one and the transformers' primary winding is open. You will most likely need part # 429790-48 from Dewalt.
SOURCE: problem with battery or power cord?
its on the inside of the laptop... mine does that and it got to the point where the plug melted... warrenty doesnt cover that (so i just found out) and my new cord does the same thing.
SOURCE: Need to replace power cord to battery charger of cordless drill
it takes a 24V DC 200mA The one I have is a Ktec Model KA12D240020034U
SOURCE: Makita DC1414 schematic
From my experience most chargers do not have replacement parts. And when you do find a schematic for a battery charger it consists of just the cord and housing, and the printed circuit board is not available. This is the case with this model DC1414. The cord and housing are the only things available for replacement. You can purchase a new charger for around $37. If you have any questions please post back.

Hi Rebecca Tranter, AA batteries this radio is designed to run off a power drill battery ?
search for BL7010 battery and search for MAKITA DC10WA Li-Ion Battery Charger ?
Hi just regular AA batteries as well as Makita rechargeable batteries for power tools I have a BL1830 & BL1840 18v but no charger for them.
The 18v batteries as mentioned above are the correct ones to use. I just need a cheap charger for them and ac power cord to see if this helps fix my issues with radio.
The BL1830/1840 batteries need a DC18RC charger. If you shop around online you can pick up a actual Makita one reasonably cheap. I would recommend that you buy a Makita unit as the cheaper Chinese ones dont always do the job properly.
The cables you need will depend on which country you live in. This is because different countries use a different plug to connect to the wall outlet.
