Storing batteries
When not in use for a month or more,
batteries should be stored correctly to
prolong their life:
! Remove the battery from the radio
before storage.
! Store the battery (in either a charged or
discharged state) in a cool dry place.
Using nickel-based batteries
after storage
Batteries that have been stored for any length
of time must be charged before being used.
See “Charging the battery”.
When first using a nickel-based battery that
has been in storage for three months or
more, it may not last an entire shift. The
battery’s optimal capacity should be restored
by putting it through two or three cycles of
charge/discharge.
