In order for the features of Motorola Smart batteries and the Adaptive Charging
System to be fully available, the data contained in Motorola Smart batteries must be
initialized by the charger the first time it is charged. This process is indicated by a
STEADY YELLOW on the charger indicator (the same as though the battery were
reconditioning). The process is automatic, includes an initial reconditioning of the
battery, and begins charging upon completion of this process. This process requires
time to initialize the battery, so the battery should be left in the charger overnight on
the initial insertion.
Table 3. IMPRES Battery Charging Indicatprs
Charge Indicator Description
Single Flash Green Charger has successfully powered up.
Steady Red Battery is in rapid charge mode.
Flashing Green Battery has completed rapid charge (>90% available
capacity). Battery is in Top-Off charge (Trickle charge).
Steady Green Battery has completed charging and is fully charged.
Flashing Yellow Battery is recognized by charger but is waiting to
charge. (Either the battery voltage is too low or the
battery temperature is too low or to high to allow
charging. When this condition is corrected, the battery
will begin charging.)
Flashing Red Battery is unchargeable or not making proper contact.
Steady Yellow (This feature is for Smart batteries only)
Battery is in recondition mode. The length of time the
charger remains in this mode is dependent upon the
state of charge remaining in the battery when inserted.
(Fully charged batteries require more time to
recondition – 8 hours or more - than fully discharged
batteries.)
Flashing Red/Green (This feature is for Smart batteries only)
Battery has completed charging and is fully charged.
Battery continues to be usable and receives all IMPRES
benefits including usage tracking and automatic
reconditioning, but may be nearing the end of its rated
service life.
NOTE
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger is unique in that it has the ability,
when used with Motorola IMPRES batteries, to automatically
determine the need of the battery to be reconditioned.
