Battery and Charger

This chapter describes the battery and charger feature for the radio.
3.1

Battery Specifications

The radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. To ensure optimum capacity and
performance, the battery should be charged before initial use.
Battery life is determined by several factors. The critical ones are overcharging of batteries and the
average depth of discharge each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the
average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery lasts. For example, a battery which is overcharged and
discharged 100 % for several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that overcharges less and
is discharged to 50 % per day. Battery with minimal overcharge and has an average of 25 %
discharge, lasts even longer.
Motorola Solutions batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola Solutions charger and
vice versa. Charging batteries with non-Motorola Solutions equipment may lead to battery damage and
void the battery warranty. Whenever possible, maintain the battery temperature to 77 °F (25 °C) (room
temperature). Charging a cold battery (below 50 °F [10 °C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimate failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in reducing
discharge capacity and affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola Solutions rapid-rate battery
chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the
temperature limits.
