The VXR-7000 trickle charger can only be disabled via a hardware modification; you must go inside and unsolder a resistor. If you would like a copy of the E-Mail from Vertex hit me off list and I'll send it your way.

However the repeater manual states "Never reapply AC power to the repeater with a discharged battery connected, as the DC startup current can damage the repeater and battery". Does anyone know if the repeater trickle charger can be disabled? The minimal manual included with the repeater doesn't tell. regards, ---per ________________________________ Yahoo!
