Battery Features
The radio comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. For optimum capacity and
performance, ensure your battery is fully charged before first use.

Battery Specifications
Battery life is determined by several factors. The critical ones are overcharging of batteries and the
average depth of discharge each cycle. The greater the overcharge and the deeper the average
discharge, the fewer cycles a battery lasts. 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.
NOTE: Batteries with different capacities and operational life may be available in the future.
