Battery Maintenance Guide

The battery of the walkie-talkie is an important accessory for the best performance of the business radio. For our preppers and educators, our two way radios are facing long-term unused conditions, so how should we deal with our batteries in this case? Today we will talk about how to maintain the battery.

1. Maintenance during daily use:

 · The first use should be fully charged. The battery is not fully charged at the factory, please charge it before use.

  · To prolong battery life, when you are not using the two-way walkie-talkie, please turn off the battery power, and remove the battery and store it in a cool and dry place.

• 2. How to maintain when long-term unused conditions:

  · Turn off the power and remove the battery and store in a cool and dry place.

  · The battery can be fully charged once a month to prevent the battery life from being affected by low battery power.

  · Pay attention to the batteries that are not used in the short term. Short-term use means that the battery will not be used within 30 days. In this case, the battery will be discharged 50% in the first step, and then stored in a cool, natural ventilation.

  · When not in use for a long time, you can fully charge the battery once a month, but when you use it again, you should fully discharge it before charging it.

• 3. Precautions for storage

 · Store the battery at room temperature. Do not place the battery pack in a place with high temperature or low temperature, otherwise the capacity and service life of the battery will be reduced.

  · When working in a dusty working environment such as a construction site or a factory, you must remember to cover the dust cover. If there is no dust cover, you can use a transparent plastic bag instead.

  · Prevent accidental short circuit of the battery. Avoid direct connection of metal objects to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. For example, a walkie-talkie placed on a table made of metal presents a high risk of accidental short-circuiting.

  · Do not leave the radio and fully charged battery in the charger when not charging. This includes not using the charger as a radio stand. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. Also, don't put a fully charged battery back in the charger for an "extra charge". This operation will significantly shorten the battery life.

 The above are some tips for the maintenance of walkie-talkie batteries. I hope it can help you and let you have a happy holiday.
