Two-way radio users can be very demanding on their radio equipment. Radios and accessories like earpieces, headsets, speaker mics, and battery chargers can really take a beating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 4 ways to extend the life of your radio equipment and accessories with these cost-saving options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Replace Charger Cups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you buy new radios, they typically come with a new type of battery that will require charging.\u00a0Rather than buy an entirely new charger, it\u2019s typically more economical to buy a universal multi-bank battery charger where you can simply purchase replacement battery cups <\/strong>rather than a new charger that works with only one radio model. It\u2019s more economical and planet-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact\u2019s\u00a0Universal Radio Battery Chargers<\/a>\u00a0utilize our fully interchangeable cup system to support most new and discontinued two-way radio batteries. We offer\u00a01-bank<\/a>,\u00a03-bank<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a06-bank chargers<\/a>\u00a0that charge batteries with or without the radio attached<\/strong> and use rapid rate, quad-chemistry charging with a wide range of adapter cups. Some of our chargers offer an additional USB port so users can also charge other devices (e.g. phones, flashlights, etc.) at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Minimize Radio Damage with Adapters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Radio equipment used in demanding industries (e.g., public safety, industrial, manufacturing) often gets damaged because users need a quick way to disconnect earpieces and surveillance kits from the radio for privacy or safety reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact\u2019s\u00a0Hirose\u2122 6 Pin in-line Quick Disconnect adapter series<\/a>\u00a0allows you to quickly attach and detach accessories without detaching the UDC\/connector<\/strong> from the radio. This feature is particularly attractive when using multi-pin accessory connectors that are screwed down to the radio or when using retention brackets on single and dual pin jacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An adapter is far more economical and practical to minimize radio damage that will likely result in a costly radio repair or an even more expensive complete radio replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Interchangeable Earpieces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every user\u2019s ear has a different size and shape, so what may work well for one user may not be comfortable for another. Impact\u2019s\u00a0Gold Series<\/a>\u2019 Snaptight feature has 12 different fully interchangeable earpiece options<\/strong> to create the most comfortable, cost-effective, versatile, and hygienic solution on the market.
