This radio was left on my boat by the previous owner. Any ideas where to score a charger?
I popped open the back
its a BP 200 7.2v nickel metal hyride
going to keep searching for a charger
BID ON IT! (fingers crossed)
Found the answer. If you still need it. West Marine no longer does business with the off brand Chinese company that supplied radio. Battery pack is not available from any of the well known battery stores (battery plus, etc). Package is 4 1006 batteries with side mounted overcharge chip set. Easy to find top mounting but physical size will not fit radio. If you are good with a soldering iron you can relocate the overcharge chip too side and set the two pair of 3.6v batteries in series for the 7.2v and parareel for other two in identical configuration then shrink wrap together for a cost of about 25. OR just buy a new radio for 70. and never buy a radio from West marine as they only buy low end foreign product or resell other companies. Buy Cobra, Uniden, etc. then support will be available. If you want I can give you name of company that supplied it but it is in China.
I found a picture of the radio, I am sure it is re-branded but I can not for the life of my figure out who made it. Sorry. here
Easy answer is to take it down to batteries plus and they either have it or will order it for you . it won't be cheap at all . cheapest way would be find i chinese copy of it online . ebay is a very good source for cheap batterypacks . more
Hi- I have a West Marine VH50 Marine radio for which the Li-ion battery has died. West Marine does not show a replacement on their website (I did send an e-mail this morning asking for help) and a search on the internet seems to show nothing.
I am not sure what the name of the plug type is.

As it has a dual watch and triple watch, you can monitor two to three channels simultaneously without leaving any updates. It also has access to NOAA weather channels to give you alerts of all the marine activities. here
Further, with its 600 mW audio output, you will get extremely loud audio even in a noisy environment. Hence, while on the sea, we can have a clear communication without focusing on the background noises. here

We are eager to keep Cobra MRHH350FLT Floating VHF Long Range Marine Radio in our choice list. It is also one of the essential handheld VHF radio at present. Backed by 50 years of Cobra quality, this floatable radio has an orange core that makes it extra visible to users. So, with dropping on water, it is easy to retrieve it from the sea.
