Chapter 2. - Charging and Battery Maintenance

Charging the Battery

The battery should be fully charged before initial use. Optimum battery efficiency will be achieved after three full battery
charge and discharge cycles.
The charger and battery are fitted with matching notches so that the battery can be charged when removed from the
radio. This allows you to charge a separate battery while using the radio.
The radio should be POWERED OFF during the charge cycle if the radio is inserted into the charger.

Battery Maintenance
At the beginning the battery is provided fully charged from the factory, but it would be naturally consumed during
transportation. Please fully charge the battery before using your radio the first time.
Use only batteries approved by Baofeng.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery to fire or intense heat.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations.
Prolonging Your Battery's Life
Before charging is completed, do not unplug the power to the charger or remove the battery.
Only charge the battery in normal room temperatures.
Battery's performance will be reduced in low or freezing temperatures. When working in cold environments, it is
suggested to carry a spare battery, inside your jacket or in a similar location in order to keep the battery warm.
Dust can interfere with the connection between the battery and the radio. lf necessary wipe the contacts with a
clean dry cloth to ensure proper contact between the radio and battery.
Never charge or use a battery which is wet or damaged.
If your battery has become wet, remove it from the radio, wipe it dry with a towel or soft tissue, and put it in a sealed
plastic bag with a handful of dry rice for at least 24 hours allowing the dry rice to absorb any moisture.
This method may only be effective against minor splashes (light rain for instance). A radio whose internal components
exposed to moisture may be permanently ruined.

Battery Storage

In order to prevent damage from over-discharge, the battery must be stored with a partial charge. (80% charge is a
good guideline). This radio uses a lithium-based battery and an 80% charge is recommended.
This level minimizes age-related capacity loss while keeping the battery in operating conditions and allowing for some
self-discharge. Always remove the battery from the radio when storing.
