The CLP Series radio provides Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities that will
define the battery life.
About the Li-Ion Battery
The CLP Series radio comes 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.
