2.6 Charger Options
The HT50 is supplied with a TC50 trickle
charger that will accept the whole radio, or
the battery only (Fig 2.5). The TC50 runs from
a 12.6v-15.5v DC supply or from AC mains
with an appropriate optional adaptor / power
supply. Charging with the trickle charger
takes approximately 12-16 hours. There is
also a rapid charger available (RC50) which
will charge the battery within 1
1/2
hours.
2.7 Charging of Batteries
To charge the NiCad and NiMH battery packs,
insert the battery or radio into the charger
ensuring that any moisture is wiped from the
contacts on the back of the battery pack. The
TC50 will trickle charge the battery to full
capacity. The RC50 will rapid charge the bat-
tery until it is fully charged and will then
automatically switch to maintenance charge.
• Batteries are supplied uncharged.
• Fully charge the battery when not in use,
although it may lose some of its charge after
several months of storage.
• Do not charge at temperatures below 0ºC or
above 40ºC.
• Turn off radio if charging battery.
• Regularly discharge the battery totally -
repeated recharging of the battery while it is
partly discharged may create a ‘memory
effect’, preventing it reaching full charge.
• Dispose of used batteries carefully. The con-
tents of the batteries could be harmful to the
environment.
• Never expose to a naked flame.
•
IMPORTANT : The LTB3 Lithium battery
is not rechargeable, and under no circum-
stances should any attempt be made to
recharge it. Replacement batteries can be
re-ordered from your local Simrad Agent.
