How to Enhance Life Span & Performance of Two-Way Radio Battery

The battery of the two-way radio is one of the important parts that determine the service life and performance of the two-way radio, therefore it is necessary to know how to enhance the life span & performance of the two-way radio battery.

Following the suggestions below to maintain your radio battery for the longest life span and best performance.

Tip 1: Please charge the new battery overnight before using it. This initialization method can guarantee that the battery reaches the maximum storage capacity.

• Nickel-chromium battery or nickel-metal hydride battery is charged for 14-16 hours for the first time.
• Lithium-ion battery and lithium polymer battery: When the indicator light turns green for the first time, please charge it for 1-2 hours more.

Tip 2: For the new battery that has not been initialized, please store it in a dry, ventilated, and cool place to avoid the battery capacity and chargeable times reduced. Do not store more than the following maximum time:

• Nickel-chromium battery: up to 24 months.
• Ni-MH battery: up to 18 months.
• Lithium-ion battery and lithium polymer battery: up to 18 months.

Tip 3: To store the used battery, please discharge 50% power first and store it in a cool, dry place, if you will not use the battery within 30 days.

Tip 4: Every time when you use a two-way radio battery that has been unused for more than 2 months, first you must fully discharge and then fully charge it.

• Nickel-chromium battery or nickel-metal hydride battery is charged for 14-16 hours.
• Lithium-ion battery and lithium polymer battery: When the indicator light turns green for the first time, please charge it for 1-2 hours more.

Tip 5: Every time when you use the rapid charger to charge the battery, please charge it for another 1-2 hours after the indicator light turns green.

Tip 6: Please remove the two-way radio battery from the charger after each normal charging is completed. Continued overcharging will shorten the life span of the battery. Therefore, do not use the charger as a base dock for a walkie talkie.

Tip 7: Only charge the battery when it needs to be charged. Do not charge an incompletely discharged battery. If you have to use walkie talkie for a long term, you'd better carry a spare battery, which is the most effective solution to solve it.
