Battery Charging Basics

Do not over charge your batteries. Batteries do not need to be charged after every shift, but only when the charge is almost drained. To maintain the battery's charge longer, turn off the power to your headsets before storing. If your batteries are not charging correctly, they may need to be cleaned.
