About the Li-Ion Battery
The CLK446 radio comes equipped 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. 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 Solutions batteries are designed specifically
to be used with a Motorola Solutions charger and vice
versa. Charging in non-Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions rapid-
rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the
temperature limits stated above.
