A true universal charger will charge all major radio manufacturers’ batteries. If the radio utilizes all three chemistries, Nicd, Nimh or Li-ion, you will only need one adapter cup to accomplish charging the various batter chemistries. What makes the UC SERIES even more unique is that without any tools you can simple replace the adapter cups and the Charger will then charge another manufacturer’s radio batteries. UC1 can be used in a vehicle with the use of a car cord.
