5.3.1 Battery Life
The most significant factor in determining battery life is transmission output power level and duty cycle. To
maximize battery life, keep BGAN terminal off when not needed, and minimize transmissions.
5.3.2 Battery Safety
For batteries containing Lithium, do not charge, short circuit,
incinerate, mutilate, recharge non-rechargeable batteries,
expose to fire, or expose to temperatures above 130° F
(54.4° C). Failure to comply may cause battery to vent,
rupture, start a fire, or explode, causing personal injury.
Never expose batteries to any amount of water at any time.
This could cause a fire or explosion, causing personal injury.
Do not activate Complete Discharge Device (CDD) of a
damaged Lithium Battery as this could release toxic material
that can cause personal injury.
If the battery becomes hot, a hissing sound is heard, and an
irritating smell occurs; power the radio OFF, disconnect the
batteries from the radio and move the equipment to a
