I'd be curious to know the answer; I don't know.

Factors might be:
- is there an inline diode, preventing the battery from charging if the 
external p/s is connected?

- is there a separate connector to charge the battery vs connect the 
external p/s?
   I can't remember, do yo remove the DMR battery and install it into a 
charger, or do you connect a power cord and charge the battery?

- does the DMR need an over-voltage to charge, and would the external 
power supply have sufficient voltage?

- is there a "car charger" plug for the DMR?  If there is, that might be 
the appropriate place to jack-in a charger.  I don't know what the car 
cigarette lighter voltage is but I bet it is 12 volts DC.

regards
Vick
