IMPRES 2 Batteries and Chargers
This section provides information on the IMPRES 2 batteries and chargers.
4.1
Features and Benefits
The IMPRES 2 energy solution is an advanced Tri-Chemistry energy system developed by Motorola
Solutions.
The system includes the following:
•
IMPRES 2 Batteries
•
IMPRES 2 Adaptive Charger
Charging IMPRES 2 batteries using an IMPRES 2 Adaptive Charger, provides the following benefits:
•
Extends the battery life cycle.
•
Measures the battery capacity and determines the current battery state of charge, giving you an
indication of the effective use time.
•
Monitors the IMPRES 2 battery usage pattern.
•
Updates the pattern information stored in the IMPRES 2 battery.
•
Batteries automatically perform self-calibration.
•
Minimizes the IMPRES 2 battery heating, regardless of how long the battery is left in the charger
pocket.
•
Periodically charges a battery stored in the charger, maintaining a high state of readiness for the
user.
Using this unique patented system, there is no requirement to track and record IMPRES 2 battery use
or remove batteries from chargers after the completion of charge.
4.2
IMPRES 2 Battery Initialization
A new IMPRES 2 battery must be initialized by the charger for full IMPRES 2 functionality.
The charger automatically detects the new IMPRES 2 battery upon insertion and starts initialization
within one second after insertion. Battery initialization includes calibration or reconditioning for battery
without self calibration icon.This is a two-phase process. The first phase is battery discharge, indicated
by the status LED in steady amber. The second phase is full charge, indicated by steady green
LED. This process may take up to 12 hours or more to complete, depending on the state of charge
and capacity of the battery. Interruption of either phase delays the battery initialization until the next
charging opportunity.

IMPRES 2 Pocket-to-Pocket
When charging IMPRES 2 batteries, the IMPRES 2 charger records charging information within the
battery memory.
