1~ 1.5 hrs. with BC-72.
15 hrs. with another charger.
@An optional AD-14 CHARGE ADAPTER is available to
charge a battery pack without the transceiver.
(2) BATTERY PACK CAUTIONS
1. NEVER throw the battery pack into fire.
2. NEVER disassemble the battery pack.
3. AVOID operating or charging the battery pack in places
below 0°C (+32°F) or over +45°C (+113°F).
4. NEVER obstruct the holes on the bottom of the battery
pack when charging with the BC-72.
5. NEVER charge dry batteries with the BP-90.
6. AVOID shorting the terminals.
(3) USING THE BATTERY PACK WISELY
The battery pack is designed to withstand recharging
periods longer than 1 week or more and can be fully
discharged. However, overcharging or complete discharging
shorten the life of a battery. The battery pack can be
recharged about 300 times but its battery life can be
lengthened to about 500 times as follows:
1. Avoid overcharging. Charging times should be less than
48 hours.
2. Use battery capacity almost completely. We recommend
battery charging after transmitting becomes impossible.
