113 Batteries and Accessories
Battery Information
The MTS 2000 radio receives its power (7.5Vdc)
from a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery as listed in
the accessories section. These batteries are a safe,
dependable power source for your radio. Proper care of
the battery will ensure its effectiveness and allow for
peak radio performance.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
Recharge the battery before use to ensure
optimum capacity and performance. The battery was
designed specifically to be used with a Motorola MTS
2000 charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the battery
warranty.
Note: When charging a battery that is attached to
the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change or charge
the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.
Charging Temperature
The battery should be at about 77°F (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold
battery (below 50° F) may result in leakage of
electrolyte and, ultimately, in failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F) results in reduced
discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the
radio. MTS 2000 rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery
is charged within these temperature limits.
Short Circuit
Care should be taken to avoid external short
circuiting of the battery.
WARNING: A sustained high-rate discharge (for
example, a paper clip placed accidentally across
the battery contacts) may permanently damage
the battery, void the battery warranty, and
create a burn or fire hazard.
