130 Charging and caring for batteries
About the chargers
There are three types of charger available for your
Tait radio battery:
■ Desktop charger: Small enough to
fit on a desk, it charges one bat-
tery at a time.
In Brazil, portable radios are
only allowed to use the desktop charger.
■ Multicharger:
Charges up to six
batteries. It can be
mounted on a desk,
on a wall, or in an
equipment rack.
Warning The multi-charger must be connected to an
earthed mains socket-outlet.
■ Vehicle charger : Charges one bat-
tery at a time while installed in a
vehicle.
Notice Tait recommends that you use a
desktop charger or multicharger, not the
vehicle charger, to prime a nickel metal
hydride battery (see page 27). After a
battery is primed, the battery does not
require regular additional charging in a desktop
charger or multicharger.
Unless otherwise indicated, the charging advice and
instructions in this chapter apply to all chargers.
Special conditions when using
IS radios
Warning Fit only an IS-approved battery to an IS
radio. Fitting a battery or accessory that is not IS-
approved exposes the customer to a risk of explosion
which could cause serious injury or death.
