Most surf lifesaving clubs and services have portable radio chargers set up so that radio battery charging is easy and convenient.

Radio batteries should always be fully charged for the next patrol duty or lifesaving operation. A radio with a low or a flat battery may emit a warning beep or turn off when trying to transmit. Turn this radio off and put it on to charge immediately, ensuring that the charge light is on.

The charging of radios used at your surf lifesaving club should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and your local SOPs.
