The defect power supply of my radio got quite warm while plugged in.
Don't know if this was cause or effect of the malfunction. Maybe there
was a loose connection, because it did work for some (short) time...

Thanks again, Kidstypike... new charger purchased, problem solved.
Battery is now charging as it should. I'm at a bit of a loss as for the
explanation, though. I didn't think chargers would  just sort of wear
out. Wha'appen?

Kidstypike, sorry, I thought you'd just typed the word Amazon, hence my
sarcastic reply. Too many mince pies must have affected my eyesight.
Anyway, I now see that it's a link... and the specific recommendation I
wanted. Thank you!

Ah yes, I think I've heard of them. I was wondering if there were
specific recommendations.

Good news. Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement power/charger
cable? I'm in the UK.

Yes, the battery loads completely again and the radio plays on battery
quite a few hours as expected.

Thanks reinholdk. Sounds like the power supply could be the culprit,
then. Did you get a full charge and battery working a-ok after you
swapped the power supply??

Experienced this with one of my radios, too. Using the power supply from
one of my spare radios made it work again.
