Expert Performance (E•P™) Charging System
Your Motorola cellular phone implements the Motorola
Expert Performance (E•P™) charging system. This system
allows the charger that is built into the phone to
communicate with the battery. Based on this
communication, the charger can tailor the charging cycle to
optimize performance. If your charging system is not
communicating with the battery, your phone will beep and
display an message each time you
inuALid bA ttEr Y
power up the phone or replace the battery. Your phone is
alerting you that you do not have charging capabilities with
this battery.
There are several reasons why your battery might not be
communicating. The most likely reason is that the battery
you purchased is not a Motorola original battery and it does
not have the appropriate communication technology built
into it. All Motorola batteries are built with the appropriate
communication technology. We recommend that you use
Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you
store your batteries in the protective battery cover that comes
with the phone.
