We just got back from the big IWCE show in Las Vegas. This year it was nice to see that Motorola has finally decided to fight back with a vengeance against the generic third party battery market that seems to be targeting their Motorola two way radios.

We’ve always known in the industry just how poorly constructed and poorly designed these batteries truly are. It’s finally nice to have some real evidence that shows how poorly these batteries hold up. It’s about time Motorola got the word out, particularly in life threatening situations where your life can actually matter.

I don’t know how many times we’ve had radios in our shop only to inform customers that there’s nothing wrong with their radios, it’s those generic batteries. You think you’re paying less, but in reality they are paying much more.

Some of these batteries actually deliver greater amps that the radios were designed to operate in. Since their circuitry are pretty much nonexistent, they can actually harm, if not destroy your radio. Some of the circuitry in these batteries is actually held together by scotch tape. I never knew the many uses of scotch tape until we tore these batteries apart.

We took a multiplier battery out in the parking lot, threw it up in the air and when it landed it shattered into numerous pieces. It took 38 times to do the same thing with a Motorola original battery and that’s because we got so mad that it would not break, so we slammed it viciously against the concrete.

People viewing this thought we were crazy and we had to explain to them what we were doing, hopefully before they call the cops on us.

Here is overwhelming proof that you get what you pay for and in the case of Motorola originals, you get more. How tough are your batteries?

Multiplier, Honeywell, Battery Zone or Power Products, please feel free to respond.

Just for the record, MyRadioMall.com sells Motorola original batteries at generic pricing.

We’re now offering a FREE lifetime radio programming service to all our customers. Any radio that is purchased and programmed by us will have unlimited radio reprogramming for the life of that radio.

Customer just needs to send the radios back to us and we will reprogram the units for free. We will also pay for the shipping back to the customer. All serial numbers will be checked against our database to ensure eligibility.

In the event that the radio supports cloning (etc… CP150/200) and at the customer request, all a customer needs to do is send back just one unit and we will reprogram and send back a cloning cable with the reprogrammed unit, so the customer can reprogram all their radios at their location with minimal downtime.

We feel this is a fantastic way of saying thank you for being our customers. We will also start shipping with every new radio order a floppy disk which includes the customer’s frequencies per order. Customers can use this as a backup or feel free to take it to a local dealer for modification.

It’s our small way of saying thanks for making us the biggest guerrilla online.

We love our customers.
