Motorola MTH800 Extending Battery Life, Battery Charging Temperature, First Time Battery Charging

Extending Battery Life

A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the terminal.To ensure maximum service life of your handset, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement.

In order to ensure maximum life from your battery, do not place the handset and/or battery in the charger, unless you really want to charge the battery.

Battery Charging Temperature

Your charger will only charge your battery when it is at temperature range of 1 °C to 37°C.

This is due to the fact that the internal battery cell can be charged in the temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C.

As the temperature gets colder (close to 0 °C) less capacity is stored in the battery.

If, during charging, the temperature is out of range, the battery might not be fully charged since the charging is temporarily stopped until the temperature becomes suitable.

The range of battery operation is from 0 °C to +45 °C in charger mode and from -10 °C to +60 °C in discharge (application) mode.

First Time Battery Charging

Always charge your new battery/(whichever type) overnight (14-16 hours) before using it.This is referred to as Initialising and will ensure maximum battery start capacity.

Battery Charging Rules

Generally, to reduce the number of charge cycles as much as you can wait for Low Battery message to charge as this will ensure maximum battery life.

Do not use your charger as a terminal stand or leave your terminal and fully charged battery connected to the charger whilst not charging. Continuous charging will shorten the battery life.
