Stupid question: Have you discharged it?
Thought a new battery charger was bad one time. Wasn't charging. Battery was charged. No charge needed.

My battery came fully charged. Yes turn the switch off while charging. Protects the radio. Also shut the switch off when not using the radio. Saves battery drain
