    "content": "What you are seeing is over-charge which is normal. The battery should\nsettle around the 9.6v mark and last a while there. Even when charging my\nSanyo Superlatice Evo Cell 2700mah batteries I see over-charge. A good page\nto look at regarding power consumption in the FT817 is\nhttp://www.ka7oei.com/ft817_pwr.html . He sums up that a good way to\nconserve power is to turn the IPO On, keep the NB Off, keep the Screen\nBacklight Off, and stick to using the Front BNC connector will save the most\npower. Wearing headphones and transmitting on lower power helps out too.\n\n~73, KC2WQW\n\nOn Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 12:12 PM, ANTHONY JAPHA <[email protected]>wrote:\n\n> I use 2 FT817s for portable ops, and have been disappointed in the battery\n> performance.
