The third jumper for charging is basically the outside shell of the end battery, which in this case is not connected and also not connected for AA's.
It concerns me that I can run the radio with AA's with the battery pack external to the radio, thus avoiding the charge circuit but not the lithiums.
Reading elsewhere shows many folk using rechargeable li-ions with the radio -charging issues notwithstanding, the difference here is that these are lithium primary batteries. I have some 3.7v AA Li-ion rechargeable batteries on their way from Singapore. I guess I'll see what happens with them.
It is curious that the radio seems to detect them and refuses to turn on.
I might try to cobble up a cable and plug it into the external DC port.
