Midland AVP2 Dual Desktop Charger for Midland G Series Radios

After recently purchasing my G-300M radios, I went to put belt clip on the unit and it would not stay on the radio. Either a poor design or a defective product; one belt cliop works one either radio and the other works on neither radio.
Also, static occurs randomly after a transmission. Other than these problems, the range seems fine. I am also dissapointed that I cannot seem to find replaceements on the Midland website for the clips.

We bought 2 pairs of radios and 2 charger kits. Nothing in the instructions warns against deep-cycling the batteries. I fully charged all 4 batteries the first time, then left the radios on until the batteries were fully discharged. Three out of four of the batteries would not recharge. I hope they'll replace the batteries, but still, we'll have to remember not to leave a radio on in a coat pocket or something.

UPDATE: I talked to Midland Tech Service. They sent replacement batteries but also suggested that I remove the old batteries for 15 minutes to allow the radios to re-set. The "bad" batteries then accepted a charge. A cute trick, but I had to call Midland to get it.
