The CA-PRO5X is specifically designed for the Midland PRO5X UHF-CB & LMR hybrid radio. It connects through the PRO5X radio's 2-pin Kenwood type accessory port and charges the 2600mAh Li-Ion battery. For other Midland radio models like G15 G18 or ARCTIC series, use their respective chargers like the CA15 series. Always verify charger compatibility with your specific radio model before purchase.
Can I use this charger in my vehicle?
The CA-PRO5X comes with a 240V AC adaptor for mains power suitable for workshop office or fixed locations. For vehicle installations, the charger cradle is compatible with the Midland AL15 12V DC car charger/power supply sold separately. The AL15 converts 12V vehicle power to suit the CA-PRO5X charging cradle enabling mobile charging in service vehicles trucks or field operations requiring vehicle-powered charging.
How long does it take to fully charge the PRO5X radio?
Charging time depends on the PRO5X radio's 2600mAh Li-Ion battery discharge level and battery condition. Typical full charge from completely discharged state requires approximately 3-4 hours.

Yes, the CA-PRO5X features intelligent charging circuitry that monitors battery status and automatically adjusts charging current preventing overcharging and extending battery life. Once the PRO5X radio's Li-Ion battery reaches full capacity, the charger switches to maintenance mode. This protects battery integrity during extended charging periods making it safe to leave radios in the charger between uses.
Can I charge the radio with its battery removed?
No, the CA-PRO5X charges the PRO5X radio with the battery installed in the radio. The charger connects through the radio's 2-pin accessory port delivering power to the radio which manages battery charging. For spare battery charging, ensure batteries remain installed in radios during charging or check if separate battery-only charging solutions are available from Midland.
Is this charger suitable for fleet operations?
For single PRO5X radio charging, the CA-PRO5X provides reliable desktop charging in workshops offices or service vehicles. For larger fleet operations with multiple PRO5X radios, consider the Midland CA13-4 4-bay desktop charger which charges four PRO5X radios simultaneously.
