IMPRES Batteries and Chargers
The IMPRES ™ energy solution is an advanced energy system developed by Motorola Solutions. The
system includes:
• IMPRES battery
• IMPRES adaptive charger
• IMPRES radio
Charger Specification
• Input: 14 V 1 A
• Output: 8.8 V 1.5 A
Features and Benefits
Charging IMPRES batteries using an IMPRES Adaptive Charger, which periodically calibrates and
reconditions the battery, yields the following benefits:
• Maximize battery life by significantly reducing heat during the trickle and post-charge cycles.
• Determines the current battery status, giving the radio user an indication of effective use time.
• Provide higher-rate IMPRES Lithium-Ion battery charging.
• Automatically performs calibration and reconditioning when needed.
• Minimizes IMPRES battery heating, regardless of how long the battery is left in the charger pocket.
• Periodically charges a battery stored in the charger, maintaining a high state of readiness for the
user.
• Eliminates Nickel battery memory effect, eliminating the need to purchase special equipment or
train personnel in tasks to maintain battery life cycle.
Using this unique patented system, there is no requirement to track and record IMPRES battery,
conduct manual calibration and reconditioning, or remove batteries from chargers after charging
completion.
1.1
Charging Radios and Batteries
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger System is a fully automated system. The charger pockets
accommodate either a radio with an attached Motorola Solutions-approved battery, or a Motorola
Solutions-approved battery alone. Batteries charge best at room temperature.
Prerequisites:Note that the radio can only be turned on when the radio is transmitting data wirelessly.
Otherwise, turn off the radio.
Procedure:
1 Plug the charger end of the power supply cord into the DC inlet (1) at the back of the charger.
