A lifeless battery can cause many radio failures and warning signs are a first clue to a potential problem (see battery care on the advice page). Many radio users are unaware that their radio batteries are close to expiring or loosing power. Two-way radio batteries are central to the proper functioning of your radios. With proper care, batteries should last about a year and a half.Do not return fully charged non-IMPRES batteries to the charger for an 'extra boost.' This action will significantly reduce cycle life.
If it is not fully discharged, do not recharge it.
Only charge a battery when it needs it. When using a Motorola rapid charger, leave the battery in the charger for an additional 1-2 hours after the steady green light appears. When ordering new batteries, specify Genuine Motorola brand they are precisely engineered for use in Motorola two-way radios. Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydrive: Charge 14-16 hours. Batteries that are in storage for more than two months need to be recharged:. This is the most cost effective solution for users requiring longer operating time. Keep spare batteries for swapping out when your battery needs to be recharged. DO NOT use the battery charger as a radio stand continuous charging will shorten the battery life. Charge a new battery after it is fully discharged (Lithium Ion batteries can be recharged at any time). If used batteries are to be removed from service for extended periods (greater than 30 days) they should be discharged to about 50% of their capacity. Batteries stored in these conditions may be stored: In order to minimize capacity loss and cycle life reduction, new, non-initialized batteries must be stored in well ventilated, cool and dry locations. Allow this calibration process to complete by not removing the battery from the charger until it's fully charged and displays a steady green light. New Motorola IMPRES batteries, when inserted into a Motorola IMPRES charger, will indicate a calibration cycle by displaying a steady yellow light on the charge status indicator. Lithium-ion/Polymer: Charge 1-2 more hours after the charger light turns green. Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride: Charge 14-16 hours. This is referred to as "initializing" and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity. 
Charge your new battery overnight before using it.
