Hello Paul, Sorry to hear about your battery trouble. Or is it a battery or a charger trouble? If you have a voltmeter that will read in the 0 to 15 volt range, take a measurement of the terminal voltage on the battery. Then, take a reading on the plug coming out of the charging unit and goes into the battery or HT (whichever it is with the HTX-202). There should be at least 10 volts at this plug. I am not sure where this red light is that you speak of. If it is on the radio, it may light up when it is taking a charge. Likewise, the charger may have its light lit when either it is charging (and go out when the battery is fully charged), or just show that it has voltage at its plug whenever it receives power from the a.c. outlet. A DC voltmeter will tell you the whole story. Hope this will shed a little more light on your light. 73, Darryl, KF6DI

I have been using an HTX-202 since I got my license year and a half ago. Every time I plug in the battery recharger the little red lite goes on. However, in the last 2 days it has not gone on and I can only use the unit in my truck with the cigarette adapter. Looks like the battery is dead and can no longer hold a charge. The manual says that there batteries last 3-5 years. My time must be up.
My question to the group:
Is there a good source for a replacement?
