Well, the transformers are always going so I guess it uses a little though 
probably not enough to make a difference. Main thing with that is most 
TH-F6A's and some other radios if you do that, there's a fuse inside that 
blows if you have the charger plugged in to the wall before the  radio 
making it not charge, not to mention those barrel connectors are easy to 
short out if you're not careful and that's never a good thing as I learned 
the hard way a few years ago. From an electricity use thing though, ya, it 
uses some but probably not enough to even notice. I don't have the outlets 
here to do that even if I was going to, I'm running a fire hazard already.

Subject: battery charger questions


Hi  everyone, over the weekend my mother asked me to unplug the various
battery chargers I have when they are not charging anything because of the
fact that it would waste electricity.  The ones I have in use mainly are
for the THF6A, and my Trekker GPS and a couple of scanners, and I just
keep them plugged into the various power  supplies so I know where they are
all the time, but I didn't think they'd be wasting electricity when not in
use?  I'm not to worried about it, for now, but if anyone knows for sure
let me know, and thanks in advance.
