Battery Charging Temperature
To ensure a successful charging process, it is recommended to maintain the battery temperature
between 5 °C to 40 °C.
To get maximum use from a new battery, charge it overnight (12–16 hours) before using the battery for
the first time.
For optimum charger performance, perform the following actions:
• Charge battery at 20 °C to 25 °C ambient temperatures.
• Turn off the radio, if attached.
NOTE: The estimated time required to fully charge the discharged battery is typically within 2–4
hours depending on cell chemistry.
