BATTERIES AND CHARGERS BATTERIES AND CHARGERS XTNi™ Series radios provide Lithium-Ion (LiIon) batteries that comes in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries.The radio comes equipped with a rapid charger. BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING OPTIONS About the Li-Ion Battery The XTNi™ radio series come equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer. Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above. English 12
