These battery tips will help you obtain optimised performance
and a longer life cycle from your Motorola rechargeable battery.
1. Charge your new battery overnight before using it. This is referred to
as INITIALISING and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity.
a. Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride: 14-16 hours.
b. Lithium Ion/Polymer: 1 to 2 additional hours after the charger light turns green.
2. New Motorola impres batteries, when inserted into a Motorola impres charger,
will indicate a calibration cycle by displaying a steady Yellow indication on the charge
status indicator. Allow this calibration process to complete by not removing the battery
from the charger until it has completely charged and displays a steady green indication.
3. In order to minimise capacity loss and cycle life reduction, new,
NON INITIALISED batteries must be stored in well ventilated, cool
and dry locations. Batteries stored in these conditions may be stored:
a. Nickel Cadmium up to 2 years.
b. Nickel Metal Hydride up to 18 months.
c. Lithium Ion/Polymer up to 18 months.
4. If used batteries are to be removed from service for extended periods
(greater than 30 days) they should be discharged to about 50% of their
capacity before storage in a cool, dry location.
5. Batteries which have been in storage for more than two months should
be fully discharged and recharged.
a. Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride: 14-16 hours.
b. Lithium Ion/Polymer: 1 to 2 additional hours after the charger light turns green.
6. When using a Motorola rapid charger, leave the battery in the charger for
an additional 1 to 2 hours after the steady green light appears.
(Applies to non-impres batteries only.)
7. Do not leave your radio and fully-charged battery in the charger when not charging.
Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Do not use charger as a radio stand.)
8. Only charge a battery when it needs it. If it is not fully discharged, do not recharge it.
We suggest that you carry a spare. This is the most cost effective solution for users
requiring longer operating time.
9. Do not return fully charged non-impres batteries to the charger for an "extra boost."
This action will significantly reduce cycle life. Repeated short cycle charging of
non-impres batteries will shorten battery life.
(Do not use charger as a radio stand for non-impres batteries.)
10. Stabilise batteries to room temperature (72ºF) before charging.
Charging below 40ºF and above 104ºF will decrease cycle life.
These simple care instructions help protect your rechargeable batteries from
extreme charging temperatures and enhance their performance and useful life.
Specify Motorola brand rechargeable batteries. They are designed and precisely
manufactured by Motorola engineers to ensure optimum portable radio performance.
It just makes good sense.
