The Yaesu CD-15A is a genuine, intelligent desktop rapid charger cradle designed specifically for Yaesu VX-series handheld transceivers and Standard Horizon marine radios. Its vertical drop-in form factor allows convenient recharging whether the battery is attached to the transceiver or inserted separately, providing a stable, secure, and organized charging solution for radio shacks, workshops, or surveillance posts.
It incorporates intelligent charge monitoring circuitry with a front-facing status LED indicator that supervises the cycle to prevent thermal and electrical overload on lithium-ion battery packs. Proper operation requires connecting a compatible wall AC adapter (such as the Yaesu NC-72C, PA-48C, or SAD-24, standard for these radios).
Key Advantages
- Intelligent Rapid Charging: Built-in circuitry with charge-termination detection to preserve the lifespan of lithium cells.
- Direct Drop-in Insertion: Accommodates the transceiver vertically or accepts a standalone battery pack with a firm, snug fit.
- LED Status Indicator: Clear visual signaling that displays ongoing charging progress and full-charge status.
- Space Optimization: Compact desktop footprint that keeps equipment safe from accidental falls on the workbench.
- Multi-Device Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of Yaesu amateur and airband transceivers, as well as Standard Horizon marine handhelds.
