IMPRES | Magnum Electronics, Inc.
Motorola Solutions radio batteries purchased after 7/1/2012 now carry a warranty against defects in manufacturing or workmanship for 48 months.
This change applies for both IMPRES batteries with automatic reconditioning and non-IMPRES battery types.
Every Motorola Original battery is shipped with a 3 or 4 digit date code for warranty purposes. Motorola will replace any two-way radio battery that falls below 80% of rated capacity during the warranty period. Warranty depends on battery chemistry type (NiCD, NiMH, Li-ion) and if the battery has IMPRES automatic conditioning capability.
The date code is located on the label of the battery. The first digit represents the year and the second two digits are the week of manufacture. A battery with a date code of 926 indicates it was manufactured in the 26th week of 2009. It would have a minimum warranty until the 26th week of 2010. At times we see new batteries with date codes in the future by a few weeks.
