Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this battery in a non-ATEX Motorola radio?
No. The NNTN8359C is specifically designed and certified for ATEX-rated MOTOTRBO radios. Using it in a non-ATEX radio is not recommended and may void certifications.
What is IMPRES and why does it matter for ATEX batteries?
IMPRES is Motorola’s intelligent battery management system. It communicates with compatible IMPRES chargers to automate reconditioning cycles, track battery health, and maximize total charge cycles. For ATEX environments where battery reliability is safety-critical, IMPRES provides real-time health data and prevents premature battery failure.
Can I charge this battery with a standard Motorola charger?
The NNTN8359C must be charged with an ATEX-rated, IMPRES-compatible charger. Using a non-ATEX charger in a hazardous location violates the intrinsic safety certification. Always verify charger compatibility before use in Zone 1 or Zone 2 environments.
