| Behind
every Motorola radio is a product as simple and
essential as communication itself: the battery.
Motorola’s
impres™ Smart Energy System —a revolutionary
battery-charging and reconditioning solution ––
automates battery maintenance, optimizes cycle
life and maximizes talk time so your radio
system will be charged and ready to go when you
need to communicate.
When
communication is absolutely essential, the
impres Smart Energy System helps ensure Motorola
radio systems will be ready.
The
traditional one size fits all approach to manual
battery maintenance often leads to inefficient
processes that fail to address battery problems
and result in wasted cycle life and wasted time
spent unnecessarily reconditioning batteries.
Manual battery maintenance also often requires
dedicated and trained staff and may still result
in wasted and unnecessary reconditioning cycles.
With
impres, battery charging and adaptive
reconditioning are automated. No manual battery
maintenance is required, so you don’t need a
dedicated service technician or additional
reconditioning hardware. With plug-and-play
single and multi-unit chargers, you can
decentralize battery maintenance by assigning
chargers to individual users; it ’s no longer
necessary to allocate specific personnel and
reconditioning equipment to handle battery
maintenance. Although complete smart features
are realized only when using impres batteries
and chargers, together impres chargers can also
handle legacy batteries; in fact, the multi-unit
chargers can simultaneously charge legacy and
impres batteries.
Optimizes cycle life …
Using
alternating current (negative pulse) and low
current trickle charging, the friendly charge
algorithm of the impres Smart Energy System
keeps batteries cooler and eliminates heat
build-up during the charge cycle.
The
battery may be left in the charger for extended
periods without damaging heat build-up, while
remaining at or near full-charge. This makes
impres ideal for those applications that require
equipment in a ready state at all times. In
addition, if partially charged batteries are
briefly removed from the charger, they can be
replaced and
the
charging cycle picks up right where it left off
.
Maximizes talk time …
… by
proper initialization. Batteries sitting dormant
for a long time may not achieve maximum capacity
after a simple charge. Initialization helps
ensure batteries achieve maximum charge capacity
and talk time. impres batteries are
automatically initialized by the impres charger;
batteries not charged in an impres charger for
at least 30 days will be automatically
re-initialized when replaced in the charger,
helping to ensure that batteries will yield
maximum talk time when put back into service.
… by
alerting you concerning battery capacity and
charge status. With display chargers now
available with the impres Smart Energy System,
you’ll be able to see — real-time and
at-a-glance
— the
battery’s capacity and amount of charge.
… by
reconditioning. The impres Smart Energy System
uses a patented communications protocol to
facilitate adaptive reconditioning that
overcomes memory effect that results when
batteries are continually charged before being
fully discharged. The impres Smart Energy System
adjusts the reconditioning frequency to match
need and usage patterns. No longer will you have
to manually track and record battery usage — or
make wild guesses about when it’s time to
recondition. With automatic and adaptive
reconditioning, you eliminate guesswork and the
time wasted reconditioning batteries
prematurely.
A
battery with brains …
To
optimize performance, the impres battery stores
usage information that’s analyzed by the
charging and reconditioning system. By assessing
unique usage patterns, the impres Smart Energy
System helps your organization get the most out
of every battery —and every communications
system.
All
impres batteries can be reconditioned without
removing them from the radio. No adapter plates
are necessary; simply put the radio in the
charger, assured that when you remove it, the
battery will be fully charged and ready to go.
An End of Service indicator lets you know when
the battery has reduced capacity and may need to
be removed from service. Because impres
batteries are automatically adaptively
reconditioned, memory effect is controlled,
enabling consistently optimal performance. |
