Battery Care and Tips

This product is powered by a 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 (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging
a cold battery (below 10°C) may result in
leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in
English 14
failure of the battery.
• Charging a hot battery (above 35°C) 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 a 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 cycle 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.
