We recommend that you keep the SHC5000 battery pack(s)
charging when it is not in use for up to two weeks. When you
plug the SHC5000 into the wall charger that comes with it,
the batteries are prevented from being overcharged.
CAUTION: The SHC5000 is not sealed against water and dust
when the battery or battery door is not installed properly.
Battery Life
Battery life on a full charge can be 20 hours or more. This
varies depending on the applications used, backlight usage,
and radio usage.
The shelf life of a battery is about one year The battery
packs should be recharged at least once per year. This
prevents the battery packs from discharging to a level that
might damage the batteries. Battery packs that are not
recharged at least every year, could fail to work or may
have reduced capacity.
CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the SHC5000 from
an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may
void your product warranty. The SHC5000 must be returned
to the factory for replacement of the internal battery,
although the internal battery pack is designed to last the
life of the SHC5000.
