Caution:

disassemble the battery.

battery not fully charged.
3. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
4. Do not cut off the power supply or remove the battery when charging a battery.
5. If the operation time will not increase even though the battery is properly charged, this
means the battery life cycle is over, please replace with a new one.

significantly reduce battery life.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if conductive
materials such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive
material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other
container with metal objects.
