Two Way Radio Battery

What Types of Batteries Do Radios Use?

In most instances, basic walkie-talkies may use AA or AAA batteries, but higher-end two-way radios often use one of the
following types of radio batteries:

• Ni-Cad - With a long life expectancy, these batteries for radios are less prone to issues associated with overcharging. While nickel-cadmium batteries are one of the most cost-effective options on the market,
  they're also among the heaviest.
• NiMH - Slightly more expensive than Ni-Cad batteries, these radio batteries are also smaller and lighter. Nickel metal hydride batteries typically last for one to two years.
• Li-Ion - The most expensive two-way radio battery option, lithium-ion batteries are lightweight and powerful. However, these radio batteries are also limited to a certain number of charging cycles. This means that once
  that number is reached, the batteries won't take another charge.

Extend the Life of Your Two-way Radio Battery

• Proper charging will help to keep your battery operating at full power.
• Remove the battery from the charger when charging is complete. Continuous charging of the battery will reduce the life of the battery.
• Store the radio and battery in a dry place at or below room temperature without exposure to direct sunlight.
