DESKTOP CHARGERS
  - BC-119 + AD-81 DESKTOP CHARGER + ADAPTER: Rapidly charges battery
    packs. Cannot be used to charge Ni-Cd cells in the BP-194. Both AC and DC
    can be used to power the charger. The AD-81 is sold separately.
  
 - BC-121 + AD-81 SIX PACK DESKTOP CHARGER + ADAPTER (up to six
    required): For rapid charging up to 6 battery packs. Cannot be used to
    charge Ni-Cd cells in the BP-194. Both AC and DC can be used to power the
    charger. The AD-81s are sold separately.
 
 
OTHER CHARGERS
  - CP-12/L CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE WITH NOISE FILTER: Allows you to
    charge the connected battery pack (13.5 to 16 V DC required). For charging
    ONLY -- the transceiver cannot be simultaneously operated.
  
 - OPC-254/L DC POWER CABLE: Allows you to charge the connected
    battery pack (13.5 to 16 V DC required). For charging ONLY -- the
    transceiver cannot be simultaneously operated.
  
 - BC-110 A/D/V WALL CHARGER: Regularly charges battery packs. Same as
    supplied with some versions.
 
 
OTHER OPTIONS
