60 Charging and caring for batteries
Storing a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery
To prepare an NiMH battery for storage:
■ Remove the battery from the radio. The battery can be
either charged or discharged.
■ Store the battery in a cold, dry place.
Using batteries after storage
Batteries that have been stored must be charged before
being used. See “Charging the battery” on page 58.
NiMH batteries that have been stored for longer than three
months may not last an entire shift. This is normal. If stored
properly, the battery’s optimal capacity should be restored
after two or three shifts (charge/discharge cycles).
Disposing of batteries
Batteries should be disposed of properly.
Discharge Li-ion batteries before disposing of them.
When disposing of a battery, be sure to do so in an
environmentally sensitive manner. If disposed of in landfills,
batteries can be very hazardous to the environment.
Please contact your radio provider for information on
recycling programs in your area.
