impres: The Intelligent
Motorola Portable Radio Energy
System Features:
•24 month warranty for
NiCD battery when used
with an impres adaptive charger.
•Charger/Conditioner/
Reconditioner – three chargers
in one.
• Automatic Adaptive
Reconditioning – reconditions
only when necessary based on
the customer usage pattern.
•Advanced charging /trickle/
maintenance modes – advanced
algorithms keeps batteries cooler
during charging… trickle charge
is low current and maintenance
mode is zero current with top off
bursts keeping the battery fully
charged at all times.
•Tri-Chemistry Charging – supports
NiCd, NiMH, and Li-ion battery
chemistries.
•Universal Charging – supports
multiple two-way radio models
in one charger
•“Safe” Battery Stand – batteries
can be safely left on the charger
for extended periods of time
without damage from overheating
while keeping the batteries fully
charged.
•Revert to Rapid Charging – keeps
battery fully charged at all times.
•Charge Resume – resumes rapid
charge on batteries briefly
removed from the charger.
•Dual LED Alert – Full Charge /
End of Service Life – alerts users
when a battery is fully charged,
but may be near its end of life.
This ensures that good batteries
are being used in the field.
• Motorola Battery ID Recognition
– Smart batteries contain unique
IDs and store a multitude of
information about the battery,
its usage, and its charge
characteristics.
• Charges batteries while on or
off the radio.
• Smart batteries and chargers
operate with older as well as
newer Motorola radio platforms.

The impres™ Lite is specially designed for the Tetra
MTP700/MTP750 to provide a more affordable
alternative while still retaining most of the desired
user-friendly impres™ features. The major exception
is that it does not perform the re-conditioning function,
hence impres Smart batteries must be calibrated in
a full-featured impres charger to ensure they
accurately record, store, and display impres battery
usage data. This impres™ Lite is a single unit compact
charger consisting of a charger base and a wall-
mount transformer that tracks “usage” information
with the battery such as battery unique ID, number
of charge cycles, end of service life, time to re-
condition and alert to the user via LED indicators.
The impres Multi-Unit Charger
with Charger Display Modules
has a two-line LCD screen for
each of its six charger pockets
that provides users with a host
of valuable battery information.
When a calibrated impres
battery is inserted into a pocket,
it provides the current battery
mAh and percent of rated
capacity which allows the user
to immediately know the status
of the battery without having
to charge and discharge the
battery. Additionally, the unit
displays the remaining charge
time which lets the user know
when the impres battery will
be ready for use. Additional
information displayed includes:
battery serial and part number
information, battery chemistry,
voltage and charge status
including the version of the
charger and display modules.
impres charger supports NiCd,
NiMH and Li-ion battery
chemistries, and can charge
legacy ( non-impres) batteries
as well as impres batteries for
ease in managing mixed radio
fleets. Patented impres circuitry
charges and conditions impres
batteries, reconditions them if
necessary, and keeps them fully
charged over time while
controlling damaging heat
build-up. Reconditioning can
also be manually initiated.
impres batteries can be left
attached to Motorola Two-way
radios if users prefer and will
automatically recondition. A
handy End of Life LED alert
provides notification when
impres batteries may need to
be removed from service.
Individual LCD display module
is also available to retrofit to
non-display multi-unit model
providing customisation
depending on budget and
operational needs. This allow
scalability to a full-6 LCD
displays at different
procurement cycles.
