Rechargeable Battery Care
These battery tips will help assure you the highest
performance and longest cycle life from your Motorola
rechargeable battery.
•
Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hours)
before using it. This is referred to as "initializing"
and will enable you to obtain maximum battery
capacity.
•
New batteries can be stored up to two years without
significant cycle loss.
•
Store new/unused batteries at room temperature in
a cool dry area.
•
Batteries which have been in storage should be
charged overnight.
•
When using a Motorola rapid charger, leave battery
in charger for an additional 1-2 hours after the green
light appears.
•
Do Not leave your radio & battery in the charger
when not charging. Continuous charging will
shorten battery life. (Don't use your charger as a
radio stand).
•
Only charge batteries when they need it. If it isn't
fully discharged, don't recharge it. (We recommend
you purchase a second battery for multiple/longer
duty cycle applications).
•
Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger
for an "extra boost". This action will significantly
reduce cycle life.
•
Stabilize battery to room temperature (72 degrees
Fahrenheit) before charging. Charging below 40
degrees Fahrenheit and above 104 degrees
Fahrenheit will decrease cycle life.
•
For optimum battery life and operation use only
Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to
operate as an integrated energy system.
•
These simple instructions protect your rechargeable
batteries from extreme temperatures and enhance
their performance and life.
