Battery Use and Maintenance
•The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion

performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
4°F (-20°C).
•Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.

stored for long periods while fully charged. If
long term storage is required, store at half
capacity.
