There are additional advantages when charging an IMPRES 2 Lithium-ion battery with an IMPRES 2
Adaptive Charger:
•
Maximize battery life by significantly reducing heat during the trickle and post-charge cycles.
•
Provide higher-rate IMPRES Lithium-Ion battery charging.
•
Eliminate the need to train personnel to manage battery maintenance tasks.
This feature combination is unique in a desktop charger. Therefore, operation of the radio with a
battery attached while in the charger is not recommended.
During the charging process, radio operation may result in minimally reduced radio performance and
extended battery charge time.
