The owners manual has that information. Check that to be sure. The manual should be online. You will need a voltage converter (cigarette lighter adapter) of the correct voltage output, as selected by the voltage input label, on the case of the radio. -- Jim in NC

FWIW, I emailed ICOM about my IC-A5, and they definitely said not to transmit on the charger. I bought a plug-in battery eliminator. Ron Wanttaja

It's probably because the charger can only put out a smaller amount of
current than the transmitter needs during transmit. If the battery is too low in charge and unable to supply the transmit current, it will try to draw the required current from the charger, possibly until burnout.
