Charging
The charger supplied with the ADL Vantage Ba ery/Charger kit (PN K01107) provides two-stage charging and should
be connected to the ba ery following every full day of opera on to assure good ba ery life and performance. The fi rst
stage quickly charges the ba ery to capacity and the second stage trickle charges the ba ery to maintain a full charge.
It is important to periodically charge any ba ery that is stored for an extended length of  me. Storing ba eries for an
extended  me in a discharged state will damage them. To recharge a user-supplied ba ery, select a charger of appropri-
ate type. You should never recharge any ba ery while it is connected to a radio. This may damage the radio and/or the
ba ery.
