The CLP Series radio provides Lithium-Ion batteries
that come in different capacities that will define the
battery life.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The CLP Series radio comes equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be
charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity
and performance.
Battery life is determined by several factors. Among
the more critical are the regular overcharge of
batteries and the average depth of discharge with
each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and
the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a
battery will last. For example, a battery which is
overcharged and discharged 100% several times a
day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives
less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per
day. Further, a battery which receives minimal
overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts
even longer.

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be
used with a Motorola charger and vice versa.
Charging in non-Motorola 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 rapid-rate battery chargers
contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
batteries are charged within the temperature limits
stated above.
