How To Properly Care For Your Motorola Two Way Radio Batteries And Keep Them Lasting Longer

Executive Summary of Motorola Radio by Eric O’Connor

Taking care of business…and batteries

Batteries. Identify your battery type.

There are three main types of batteries for Two Way Radios: Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium Ion (Li-Ion). Li-Ion batteries, the most recent battery chemical technology, are the lightest of all batteries, an attractive feature to many users.

Caring for your batteries

1. Try to stabilize your batteries at room temperature (72oF) before charging for best results.

2. New NiCd and NiMH batteries should be charged for around 15 hours before first use. This is also known as initializing your battery. Li-Ion batteries should be charged for 1-2 additional hours after the light on the charge turns green.

3. Only charge your battery when it needs it. If you have to store batteries:

1. Store batteries in a cool, well ventilated, dry location. NiCd batteries can be stored up to two years while NiMH and Li-Ion batteries can be stored for 18 months under these conditions.

Batteries aren’t hard to take care of but if you don’t follow these steps a battery can die well before its time and that’s not cost effective for you .
