BATTERY CHARGING
CAUTION!
Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully
charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature
environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended period of time.
If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-
tached from the radio after discharging.
You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then
keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below:
–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F)
(within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F)
(within three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F)
(within a year)

DANGER! NEVER
charge the battery pack in areas with ex-
tremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside
a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the
safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the bat
-
tery to stop charging.
WARNING! DO NOT
charge or leave the battery in the battery
charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not
completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and re-
move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or the battery may rupture.
WARNING! NEVER
insert the transceiver (battery attached to the
transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode
the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger
is not waterproof.
CAUTION! DO NOT
charge the battery outside of the specified
temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +40˚C; +32˚F to +104˚F). Icom
recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F). The battery
may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature
range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be re-
duced.
