MOTOROLA IMPRES TM BATTERIES & CHARGERS
Let’s talk about saving time
and money
With the impres system,
there’s no need to guess when
a battery needs to be
reconditioned. There’s no
worry about wasting unused
power or shortening battery
life by reconditioning too
often. Get the most life out of
every battery so:
• You and your crew spend
less time swapping
batteries
• You can reduce your need
to keep spares on the hand
• Each battery works longer
All of which can help you
save time and money.
What your batteries
know can help you save
time and money
This patented Motorola
technology for two-way
radio power combines a
“smart” battery, a “smart”
charger, and a system that
lets the battery, charger
and other accessory
devices communicate over
a singlewire. The battery
itself has the intelligence
to store information such
as elapsed usage time,
charge and discharge
current, voltage and
temperature. The charger
then uses the battery
information to control
battery maintenance
automatically. So the
impres system
automatically manages
battery reconditioning and
gauges fuel use to extend
battery pack life, extend
talk time and improve
performance. This
innovative, intelligent
technology helps to make
sure your two-way radios
are working when you
need them most: in high-
risk public safety
applications, remote field
operations and anytime
reliable operation is
critical.
The impres system works
with nickel-cadmium,
nickel-metal hydride and
lithium-ion batteries.
The brains of the outfit
The impres system is an
advanced tri-chemistry
energy solution including
a smart battery pack, an
adaptive single- or multi-
unit charger provide
automatic, adaptive
reconditioning and
charging through
Motorola’s patented
hardware and software
battery management
algorithms. And all you do
is put the battery in the
charger pocket.
The impres adaptive
charger is actually three
units in one: a rapid
charger, a conditioning
charger and a
reconditioner. The
battery pack features
unique smart circuitry that
sends data to the charger.
Based on previous charge
history stored in the
battery, the charger
decides whether to charge
or to recondition the
battery, effectively
eliminating memory build-
up. The charger only
reconditions the battery
when needed, maximizing
talk time and ensuring the
most possible charge
cycles for the battery pack.
And it provides a Friendly
Charge Algorithm that can
minimize heat build and
maintenance mode, to
maximum the life of the
battery pack while letting
you keep batteries on the
charger longer than ever
before.
Impres chargers can both
charge and discharge
compatible rechargeable
batteries. They can charge
lithium ion rechargeable
batteries and can
discharge and recondition
both nickel cadmium and
nickel metal hydride
rechargeable batteries.
The charger uses
information from battery
to automatically and
adaptively determine the
proper interval for nickel-
based battery
reconditioning. It can also
charge conventional
compatible batteries,
providing an optimal
charge without
overheating.
When you use impres
batteries with an impres
charger, you can even
charge or recondition them
while they’re still in the
radio they power.
Compatible radios
equipped with digital
displays can display
specific battery data- and
even send to data to your
PC. The impres system is
designed to support future
accessory display and
battery management
systems, including a
custom battery pack usage
profile that will calculate
and project and end-of-life
date.
