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.
