Maintaining battery life and performance
With proper care and maintenance you will maintain the performance
and life of the battery. It is recommended that you:
Use only Tait chargers and batteries.
■
Do not expose a battery to very high or very low temperatures for
■
extended periods of time. Doing so will shorten the service life of
the battery.
Very high: above 140 °F (60 °C)
Very low: less than –4 °F (–20 °C)
Charge the battery at a room temperature of between 50 °F and
■
77 °F (between 10 °C and 25 °C). This temperature range is the
optimal charging range.
Wipe excess moisture and dirt from the radio, radio contacts and
■
battery contacts before charging the battery.
Store batteries properly when not in use. See
