The charging time when charging the FT2F2100BV2
battery with the optional special charger is approxi-
mately 3 hours.
When the battery will not be used for a long time, to
prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be
kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully
charged. Also be careful that the battery does not en-
ter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.
When the battery will not be used for a long time, a
battery should be removed from a transmitter.
Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.
