CARE OF RECHARGEABLE NI-CAD AND NI-MH BATTERIES
PLEASE ALWAYS DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY
Always follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for charging and disposing of Ni-Cad
and Ni-MH batteries.
General information regarding Ni-Cad/Ni-MH batteries;
1. Occasionally allow the batteries to fully discharge before recharging. Full discharge will be
indicated by the low battery indicator coming on during receive operation.
2. Always allow the battery to fully charge before using. This requires 10 hours with
the approved charger. (Ni-MH batteries require 16 hours for full charge.)
3. The above will prevent the batteries from developing “memory” which effectively reduces their
capacity.
4. It is better to store Ni-Cad batteries that are discharged rather than charged.
Ni-MH batteries are best stored charged.
