The Dynascan UV-101 4-way multi-unit desktop charger (REF: CHM101) is a professional charging solution engineered to centralize and streamline fleet battery management across security, event production, logistics, and industrial sectors. Featuring four independent, microprocessor-controlled charging pockets, it allows simultaneous charging of one to four batteries—or full radios with the battery attached—eliminating workspace clutter from tangled cables and multiple wall plugs.
Its intelligent charging circuitry automatically manages a three-stage charging cycle: soft pre-charge (to condition and recover low-voltage cells), constant-current fast charging (500 mA), and constant-voltage finishing (8.4 V) with automatic cut-off upon full completion. Each individual bay is equipped with a dedicated multicolor LED status indicator that monitors real-time charging status, including self-test, pre-charge, fast charge, cycle complete, and safety fault alerts.
Why Choose the Dynascan UV-101 Multi-Charger?
Unlike daisy-chained individual charging cradles, this compact charging station features a durable, space-saving desktop footprint (202 x 170 x 54 mm, approx. 600 g). Powered by a single 12 V / 2.0 A power adapter, it delivers steady, regulated current with comprehensive thermal, short-circuit, and overvoltage safeguards specifically tuned for 7.4 V lithium-ion packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all four bays need to be filled for the charger to work?
No, each charging slot operates completely independently. You can charge any combination from one to four units without affecting charging speed or safety performance.
Can batteries be recharged without removing them from the radio?
Yes, each pocket is precision-molded to accommodate both a standalone battery pack and the complete walkie-talkie with the battery attached.
