Why my ChatterBox units battery charge run out sooner than I first installed it?
Recommend Ni-MH batteries needs to be re-conditioned after 3-6 months of usage. To recondition the Ni-MH batteries, you need to fully discharge the power in the batteries (use the batteries until it is fully out of power), and recharge the batteries with the provided AC charger overnight. To do the recondition process 1-2 times, it could resolve the battery memory effect problems. To make the discharge process faster, you can leave the FRS MultiSport, X1 and X2 units on and set the VOX sensitivity to high, and place near a running TV or Fm Radio or in a noisy room, until the LOW-BATT-IND indicator up or (for X1, X2 units) its power off itself. If repeated recondition processes don’t resolve the problem, it is the time to order another battery for your unit. Normally, a ChatterBox Ni-MH battery after its first charging by users, its ability to take charge from charger will last about 18 months-2 years for most riders.
