Disposing Of Batteries - Tait TP8000 Guide

Storing batteries
When not in use for a month or more, batteries should be stored
correctly to ensure they are as close as possible to new
(manufactured) condition when put into operation.
Remove the battery from the radio before storage.
■
Fully charge the battery if storing for less than one month.
■
Charge non-IS batteries to about 60% if storing for longer than
■
one month.
IS batteries discharge faster than other batteries. IS batteries
■
which are not in active use should be fully charged when they
reach a period of 14 weeks in storage. This should be repeated for
each subsequent 14-week period.
All other batteries which are not in active use should be fully
■
charged when they reach a period of 24 weeks in storage. This
should be repeated for each subsequent 24-week period.
Store in a cool dry place.
■
Any battery found to have fallen below 4.0V should be disposed
■
of appropriately. An exception to this is the T03-00011-EXXX
battery, which should be discarded if the voltage has fallen below
5.2V.
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time must be
charged before being used. See
Notice IATA rules state that Li-Ion cells must be offered for air
transport at a state of charge (SoC) not exceeding 30% of their rated
design capacity.

Disposing of batteries

Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When disposing of the
battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner.
Please contact your radio provider for information about recycling
programs in your area. See
