connection between the charger and the battery. The charger shall permit operation of the radio in receive or standby mode while charging the battery. Charger Power. Each smart charger shall be powered from a 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz single phase source using a standard AC plug. A visual indicator shall be included to indicate the charger is in operation. Charging Rate. Each smart charger shall function as a rapid charger and charge a discharged battery to 90% of its maximum charge within three hours. The charging rate and charging rate control shall be matched to the battery cell technology and shall not reduce its Amp-hour rating, or the rated number of charge cycles, and shall not otherwise damage the battery. Charge Indicator. Each smart charger shall include an indicator to display the relative charge status of the battery. The indicator shall indicate a single point charge condition on the battery charging curve, i.e., a light that illuminates or increases in intensity when the battery reaches a specified charge level. Analyzer Functions. Each smart charger shall also provide discharging, analyzing, conditioning and cycle testing functions that track voltage and capacity. These functions shall be used to adjust for an optimum charge profile and prolong battery life. Multiple Unit Smart Charger. Each multiple unit smart battery charger shall comply with all specifications for a smart battery charger, as stated above, and support simultaneous smart charging of a minimum of four batteries. Vehicular Charger Each vehicular charger shall be provided with charger circuitry that is matched to the battery cell technology. The charger shall provide a physical receptacle in which to insert the battery with or without the radio attached. The receptacle shall include a drop-in style automatic electrical connection between the charger and the battery. The charger shall permit operation of the radio in receive or standby mode while charging the battery. The vehicular charger shall also function as a storage receptacle for the radio as installed in the vehicle. Each vehicular charger shall be Cabling and Installation Kit. provided with a complete cabling and installation kit for installing and powering the charger. All connectors shall be locking type so that vibration does not disengage the connection. Charger Power. Each vehicular charger shall be powered from a 12 Volt DC source. A visual indicator shall be included to indicate the charger is in operation.
