Motorola APX 6000 Guide

CHARGING AND CARING FOR YOUR BATTERY:
The APX 4000/6000 portable radios are designed to use Motorola IMPRES batteries. IMPRES batteries contain a chip
that communicates with the IMPRES charger; this batteries are considered “smart” as they know when they need to be
reconditioned. If you place your battery in the AC powered charger and the light turns yellow, this indicates the
battery is undergoing recondition. This does not happen with the 12 volt DC vehicle chargers. Following
reconditioning the battery will charge normally. It is best to let the entire cycle conclude if possible.
While cigarette-plug “travel chargers” are available for IMPRES batteries, they are not recommend for use unless it is an
emergency. The “travel chargers” are not IMPRES and will dramatically shorten the life of the battery.
The light on the IMPRES charger will tell you some
information about the battery itself. The table below
explains this in detail. CHARGER LIGHT
