Q & A CAN YOU LEAVE THE RADIO PLUGGED INTO A DC POWER SOURCE? 1/11/2002 I CALLED PHIL PARTON KENWOOD SALES MAIN USA OFFICE AND ASKED THE BATTERY CHARGING QUESTION OF HIM. HE ADVISED ME THAT THE RADIO HAS A INTERNAL CHARGE REGULATOR. IT CAN BE LEFT ON BEING CHARGED BY ANY POWER SOURCE AND IT WILL BE FINE. |
