Removing the battery from the 

charger

■

Desktop charger and 6-way charger: Lift the bat-

tery/radio out of the charger.

■

Battery-only vehicle charger: Pull up the top clip of 

the vehicle charger, and then lift out the battery.

■

Vehicle charger: Press down once firmly on the 

release bar at the top of the vehicle charger, and 

then lift out the radio.

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 chargers and batteries.

■

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 –4 °F (–20 °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.

■

Wipe excess moisture and dirt from the radio, 

radio contacts and battery contacts before charg-

ing the battery.
