Battery Use and Maintenance
• The Moto r ola i DE N Ap pro ved Li t hium Io n ch arg ers
provide optimu m performance. Other chargers
may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium Ion battery
or may yield a reduced number of lifetime charge
cycles.

performance. Do not store the battery wh ere
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.
Powering On and Off
• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is
stored for long periods while ful ly charged. If long
term storage is required, store at half capacity.
