2 Way Radio Batteries

Batteries, like all good things in life, eventually run out and have to be replaced. Having them run out, though, in an emergency situation when you are trying to use your two way radio, can make for a life and death scenario. In order to be prepared for an emergency situation, it may be a good idea to look into buying some extra 2 way radio batteries.

First, let's talk about how to maintain your original two way radio batteries.

• Use AC power: As with any communication device, if you have the option, use AC power instead of the battery. Manufacturers make batteries with a limited number of charge-discharge cycles, so the batteries are going to run out eventually. How long before they run out depends on if you are able to save the battery by using AC power instead.
• Careful handling: Do not drop the battery or try to change it in any way.
• Environment: Remember that excessive heat or cold will damage the battery.

Now that you know how to prolong the battery life for your two way radio batteries, let's talk about where you can find an extra two way radio battery. Try a search on the Internet for two way radio battery - you will be presented with a number of useful sites willing to sell you an extra battery. Remember with each purchase to figure in shipping costs. Many sites only ship FedEx and the prices end up being a bit higher than they would be with a standard shipping option.

One site I have been impressed with is Batteryweb.com. They stock a huge array of batteries and claim to specialize not in the battery business, but rather in the people business. Battery Web aims to please and offers 100% satisfaction guarantee and the ability to return your purchase for a full refund. They will ship by UPS ground if you so desire, so it costs less to have your battery shipped to you than on other sites which only do FedEx overnight or two day delivery. I have also been impressed with Battery Web's FAQ site, where they describe almost everything having to do with batteries.
