Battery Care and Tips

This product is powered by lithium-ion rechargeable battery.

The following battery tips will help you obtain the highest performance and longest cycle life from your Motorola rechargeable battery.

Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hrs) before using it to obtain maximum battery capacity and performance.

Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

The battery should be at about 25°C/77°F (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 10°C/50° F) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery.

Charging a hot battery (above 35°C/95°F) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within these temperature limits.

New batteries can be stored up to two years without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused batteries in cool dry area.

Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight.

Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce battery life.

Do not leave your radio and battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger as a radio stand.)

For optimum battery life and operation use only Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to operate as an integrated energy system.
