Batteries And Chargers
XT600d Series radios provide Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries
which come in different capacities that defines battery life.

About Li-Ion Battery

The XT600d Series radio comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion
battery. This battery should be fully charged before initial
use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.
Battery life is determined by several factors. The critical
ones are overcharging of batteries and the average depth
of discharge 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% for several
times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that
overcharges less and is discharged to 50% per day.
Battery with minimal overcharge and has an average of
25% discharge, lasts even longer.
Motorola Solutions batteries are designed specifically to be
used with a Motorola Solutions charger and vice versa.
Charging batteries with non-Motorola Solutions equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

Whenever possible, maintain the battery temperature to
77 °F (25 °C) (room temperature). Charging a cold battery
(below 50 ° F [10 °C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte
and ultimate failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery
(above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in reducing discharge capacity
and affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola
Solutions rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are
charged within the temperature limits stated above.
