Battery Recycling And Disposal - Motorola RDU4160d User Manual

Motorola Solutions batteries are designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola
Solutions charger and vice versa. Charging in
non-Motorola Solutions equipment may lead to
battery damage and void the battery warranty.
The battery should be at about 77 °F (25 °C)
(room temperature), whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50 °F [10 °C])
may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a
hot battery (above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola Solutions
rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
batteries are charged within the temperature
limits stated above.

batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola Solutions fully endorses and
encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In
the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions
participates in the nationwide Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)
program for Li-Ion battery collection and
recycling.
Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program. For the location of the drop-off facility
