•When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
•The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery, (below 50°F [10°C]) may result in
leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery.
•Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola
•New batteries can be stored up to two years without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused batteries in a cool dry area.
•Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight.
•Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce cycle life.
•Do not leave your radio and battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger as a radio stand.)
