I just read an online copy of the DMR manual.  I think this answers your 
question Leo, and the answer is "no".

1.  if the mains adapter is used, the battery does not charge.  In fact, 
it states that the battery does not even need to be installed, to use 
the mains adapter.

2.  to charge the battery, it is removed from the DMR and the charger 
plug connected to the battery.
