Page 18: Battery Life Guidelines
HT50/HT51/Axis 50 GMDSS 3.5 Battery life guidelines New batteries should be fully (trickle) charged and fully dis- charged several times to achieve full capacity. To a large extent, the battery life will depend on the usage, or Duty Cycle, of the radio (Tables 2 and 3), i.e. the battery will be drained much quicker if the radio is transmitting continually than if it is just receiving. -
