Charging the Battery The battery must be charged before use. Memory effect is a phenomenon that causes a loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or long-term overcharging. This memory effect has been greatly reduced in your batteries through the use of new cell technology. It is still recommended, however, that you discharge your battery as much as possible before recharging it. Recharging after each shift is good standard practice. When charging a battery that is attached to your radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge. Battery procedures continued on next panel.
