Chapter 3
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.

Battery Life

The estimated battery life is 18 hours based on 5 % transmit, 5 % receive, and 90 % standby (standard
duty cycle).

Battery Recycling and Disposal

Li-ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all
areas. Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, batteries must be
recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management
agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola Solutions fully endorses and
encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries.
In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions participates in the nationwide Call2Recycle program for
battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location
of the drop-off facility closest to you, access Call2Recycle's Internet web site at https://
www.call2recycle.org/ or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. This internet site and telephone number also provide
other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses, and governmental
agencies.
