About Battery Storage
The ideal storage environment is normal room temperature or slightly below. Excess temperature
shortens the battery life and accelerates self discharge. Charge batteries at least once per year or
sooner if needed. The battery open circuit voltage should not be allowed to drop below 12V.
Recycle or dispose of batteries pr o p e rly.
Do not mutilate or dispose of batteries in fire to avoid risk of releasing
toxic materials. Short-circuiting batteries may cause burns.
Battery T e st
You must use a copy of RadioShop 3.4 or higher to run the battery test. See the applicable
RadioShop Getting Started Guide for information on using the application to test the concentrator
battery.
The new Autoranging power supply (25-1008 or 25-1025) can be software-enabled into battery test
mode. Disconnect the battery charger from the battery to place a load across the battery. Measure the
battery voltage before, during, and at the end of this test to discover bad or weak batteries. This test
is more effective than measuring the battery voltage without a load on the battery.
All Series III radios will have this capability. The Series II and IIb may have this capability if
retrofitted with kit, P/N 45-1029 (other kits may be available).
