The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery
RDX Series™ provides different types of batteries. For more information, refer to “Battery Features” on page 8 and “Accessories” on page 43.

BATTERY FEATURES

RDX Series™ radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries.
About the Li-Ion Battery
The RDX 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
English
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.
Battery Recycling and Disposal
Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas.
Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Li­Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery collection and recycling.
Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
