Battery Recycling And Disposal - Motorola RDM2070d User Manual

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.

Battery Recycling and Disposal

Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas.
Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of
several other countries, 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 fully
endorses and encourages the recycling of Li-
Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola
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
closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
