Battery Charging and Care, Continued

When using both charging wells, only one can rapid charge at a time. The front charging well always has priority for rapid charging. After the front well cycles from rapid to top-off / trickle charge, the back well will initiate its rapid charge mode. Again, note the color of the charging well's LED to define the current charging cycle.

Note: To ensure peak performance from your radio, periodically discharge the battery completely and recharge fully. This action will prevent the battery from developing a "memory" of short-term use, and will permit a good service life.
