Checking The Battery Charge Status; Led And Sounds; Conventional Fuel Gauge Icon; Smart Fuel Gauge Icon - Motorola ASTRO APX 7000 Series Quick Reference Card

For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged
100% several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery
that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50%
per day. Furthermore, a battery that receives minimal
overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, will last even
longer.

Checking the Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate your battery's charge status through:
•

LED and sounds
