| Battery Tips
(borrowed from Motorola’s™ Radio Products and Services Division) | ||
| 1. | Charge your new battery overnight (14 to 16 hours) before using it. This is referred to as “initializing" and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity. | |
| 2. | New non-initialized batteries can be stored in a well ventilated, cool and dry area without significant cycle life loss as follows: Nickel Cadmium ... up to 2 years; Nickel Metal Hydride ... up to 1 year. | |
| 3. | Batteries which have been in storage for more than 2 months should be fully discharged overnight or for 14 hours. | |
| 4. | When using a Motorola™ rapid charger, leave battery in charger for an additional 2-3 hours after the green light appears. | |
| 5. | Do not leave your radio & fully charged battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. | |
| 6. | Only charge a battery when it needs it. If it isn’t fully discharged, do not recharge it. (We suggest you carry a spare. This is the most cost effective solution for users requiring longer operating time.) | |
| 7. | Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra Boost”. This action will significantly reduce cycle time. |  |
| 8. | Stabilize battery to room temperature (72 degrees F) before charging. Charging below 40 degrees F or above 104 degrees F will decrease cycle life. | |
