Charging and caring for batteries 117
Removing the battery from the charger
■ Desktop charger and multicharger: Lift the battery/
radio out of the charger.
■ Vehicle charger: Pull the release bar up, and then lift
out the battery.
You can remove a battery/radio from the charger at any
time without harming the battery, the radio, or the
charger. When you return the battery/radio to the
charger, charging is automatically resumed. You can also
leave a battery/radio in the charger once charging is
complete.
Maintaining battery life and
performance
With proper care and maintenance you will maintain the
performance and life of the battery. It is recommended
that you:
■ Use only Tait batteries and chargers.
■ Do not expose a battery to very high or very low
temperatures for extended periods of time. Doing so
will shorten the service life of the battery.
Very high: above 140 °F (60 °C)
Very low: less than –22 °F (–30 °C)
■ Charge the battery at a room temperature of
between 50 °F and 77 °F (between 10 °C and 25 °C).
This temperature range is the optimal charging
range.
■ Store batteries properly when not in use. See
“Storing batteries” on page 118.
