After cleaning, inspect the contact surfaces for signs of
advanced wear. Advanced contact wear is defined as wear
through either the contact platings (gold and nickel) to the
base metal (copper). Copper exposure is characterized by
a distinctive orange-brown metal appearance surrounded
by the silvery nickel underplate and gold top coat. In some
cases, a magnified (10x minimum) inspection may be
required to verify wear through to the base material.
Polishing of the gold or nickel surface is common and is
not considered a need for replacement. In instances where
advanced wear is evident, the battery should be replaced.
• After cleaning the contact areas of any foreign material, let
the lubricant/cleaner dry for 2 minutes. Replace the battery
on the radio and test for intermittency by moving the
battery relative to the radio as might occur in regular use.
Regular maintenance (at least annually) of this area is
recommended to ensure contamination free interface and
to prolong the life of the battery contacts.
Storage
Do not store your battery where the temperatures will exceed
+60 °C or fall below -20 °C.
New Lithium-Ion batteries (i.e.batteries that have never been
charged before) may be stored for up to 2 years (with up to
50% of maximum charge) in well ventilated, cool and dry
areas with some capacity loss in life cycle.
Batteries, which have already been charged and then stored
for more than 2 months should be recharged overnight (14-
16 hours) before use.
Extending Battery Life
A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing
during the life of the terminal.To ensure maximum service life
of your handset, always replace the battery with a genuine
Motorola replacement.
