Battery Specifications
The radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Lithium-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. 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.

Battery Recycling and Disposal
Lithium-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
Lithium-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
