Your two-way radio seems to operate well enough, though you notice it seems not to be transmitting or receiving as smoothly as it once did. Or there seems to be some faint interference in the background. The radio’s functions aren’t operating properly. Could there be a problem with the radio…?OR is it the battery! This is the most common problem with minor communications of your two-way radios, which we encounter daily, lack of replacement of a new battery promptly.
Battery power is crucial to the functioning of your radio. Battery power fades out over time. Two-way radio batteries NEED replacement after one year of consistent use. Even when they are still allowing the radio to power up, the battery is working on lower output as the power cell fails. Performance issues appear as the processor does not have enough voltage to power components.
All Command Radio Communications batteries are marked with an expiration date when sold to a customer. We place a sticker on the inside of the battery. Once that expiration date passes, it’s time to order new batteries for replacement. If your sticker is missing for any reason, look at your date of purchase from your receipt, which will tell you the year and month the battery was activated. Simply add one year and see where you are in terms of expiration.
Batteries are a nominal cost in keeping your communications operating at an optimal level. Don’t wait until the battery dies, or until there are issues that come at the most inopportune times. Replace your batteries once a year.
