About our Batteries

Any Questions

  1. What type of Batteries does Radio Warehouse recommend and sell?

1.) What type of Batteries does Radio Warehouse recommend and sell?

As part of our commitment to the environment, Radio Warehouse does not sell Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries. NiCd batteries contain cadmium, a toxic heavy metal that can cause substantial pollution when sent to landfill. Instead, Radio Warehouse offers Lithium Ion (Li-ion) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery technology, which are an environmentally better alternative and will actually deliver greater capacity by size and weight than older, toxic NiCd batteries.  We have these new and cleaner batteries to suit most professional two-way radio brands. Call us, we can tell you why they are better for business.

2.) Why should I pay a little more for Lithium Ion?

Lithium ion two way radio batteries are current technology.  They are a low maintenance battery and no periodic discharging/conditioning is needed. A recharge on a partially charged battery does not diminish its charge capacity. Lithium Ion has special circuitry to stop it from being over or under charged and tends to hold the charge when not in use for months. The Lithium lon battery is much lighter and more compact than other batteries of similar capacity. Lithium makes the user experience of the radio even better as it makes the Two Way Radio more comfortable and lighter to wear – especially for all day or night users, more comfort - good reason to upgrade your radio now.

3.) Does Radio Warehouse have a recycling program for end-of-life batteries?

Yes! Along with offering cleaner and newer battery technology, Radio Warehouse has recently launched a battery recycling program called, "Take-Back Give-Back". For more information about this initiative please view Supporting the Community.

4.) Where do I go for further two-way battery information?

Downloading a copy of What You Should Know About Two-Way Radio Batteries should help answer many of the questions you may have about two-way radio batteries including how to care for your batteries. If you still have further questions, please feel free to contact us.
