Charging Times
See your battery and charger to determine the
appropriate charging time.
For best results, charge the batteries within the
temperature range of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to
40°C).
Prolonged charging is not recommended.

Battery Use and Maintenance
•The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion
chargers provide optimum performance. Other
chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium
Ion battery or may yield a reduced number of
lifetime charge cycles.
•Extreme temperatures degrade battery
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.
•The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is
stored for long periods while fully charged. If
long term storage is required, store at half
capacity.
