Key Features

• Six-bay capacity: Charge up to six EF-Johnson Viking VP900 radios or batteries simultaneously to reduce downtime for a whole team.

Who It's For

This charger is aimed at small to medium operations that maintain a fleet of EF-Johnson Viking VP900 radios: security teams, event crews, maintenance departments and small dispatch centers will appreciate the ability to recharge six units at once and the convenience of a built-in power supply.

It is less appropriate for single users with one radio or users who need a ruggedized vehicle-mounted charger; this is a desk-style rapid charger intended for fixed locations where multiple radios are managed together.
