■ Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack
• As the battery pack is charged and discharged
repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases.
• Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery
pack degrades.
• It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack
in cooler areas.
• The life of battery pack is shortened when it is
charged and discharged in hotter areas. When
the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the
battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the
battery pack in vehicles or near heating
appliances.
• When the battery pack operating time becomes
short, even if it is fully charged, replace the
battery pack. Continuing to charge and discharge
the battery pack may result in electrolyte leakage.
■ Charging the Li-ion Battery Pack
When charging a transceiver with a KNB-24L battery
pack, the safety catch of the battery pack may stick
out past the battery. When inserting the transceiver
with the battery pack into the charger, the safety
catch will touch the metal contacts of the charger
and the charger LED will momentarily light red. Be
sure to push the transceiver fully into the battery
pack slot so the safety catch no longer touches the
charger terminals. Once in place, the battery pack
will begin charging.
For charging procedures, refer to the KSC-25
Instruction Manual.
