  • Locate the battery's date of manufacture.
  • Discontinue using outdated batteries.
  • Remove and do not use all non-Motorola or non-Symbol approved batteries.
  • Change the battery when prompted. (the indicator light reads low", you get an audible alert, or a pop up indicates a low battery).

  • Maintain moderate temperatures to prevent heat-induced degradation and preserve long-term battery health.
  • Keep charge levels between 20% and 80% to minimize stress on lithium-ion cells.
  • Lower screen brightness and use dark mode to significantly reduce display power consumption.
  • Disable background app refresh and unnecessary location services to save valuable energy.
  • Regularly update software to benefit from the latest manufacturer power-saving optimizations and fixes.
  • Enable low-power modes to restrict high-drain activities when the battery is low.
