Battery chargers

Using the BC-191 to rapid charge the BP-264

The BC-191 rapidly charges only the BP-264 Ni-MH battery
pack. Never use it to charge any other battery pack.
Charging time: Approximately 2 hours

The following additional item is required:

• An AC adapter (not supplied with some versions) or the OPC-515L

or CP-23L DC power cable.

Using the BC-192 to regular charge the BP-264

The BC-192 regularly charges only the BP-264 Ni-MH bat-
tery pack. Never use it to charge any other battery pack.
Charging time (with the 147S): Approximately 16 hours

The following additional item is required:

• An AC adapter (not supplied with some versions) or the OPC-515L

DC power cable.

The optional OPC-515L

(for DC power source)

can be used instead of

the AC adapter.

Charge indicator
• Lights green while charging.
NOTE:

The charge indicator will not
go out even after a battery
pack is fully charged.

AC adapter

(A different type, or no AC

adapter is supplied with
some versions.)

Transceiver

Battery pack

Screws*
(Self tapping screw:

3.5 × at least 30 mm)

*Purchase separately.

Using screws is
recommended to
secure the charger.

Charging time period differs

depending on the input voltage.

12 V : Approx. 36 hours
13.8 V : Approx. 21 hours
16 V : Approx. 16 hours

Turn OFF the power

The optional OPC-515L (for DC
power source) or CP-23L (for 12 V
cigarette lighter socket) can be
used instead of the AC adapter.
