Battery Life

Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery.

Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):

• Li Ion – 12 Hours

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.

For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.

WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.
