4800mAh Extended-Capacity Performance

The CT4486 provides 4800mAh of rechargeable Lithium Polymer / Li-Po capacity, giving users approximately 41% more rated capacity than the 3400mAh Motorola PMNN4486A.

That additional capacity can help:

• Extend operating time between charges
• Reduce battery changes during long shifts
• Provide additional reserve power during emergencies
• Reduce dependence on spare batteries
• Keep radios operational during remote assignments
• Support personnel working overtime or extended incidents

Actual radio runtime varies according to transmitting activity, frequency band, transmit power, signal strength, GPS and Bluetooth usage, display activity, speaker volume, temperature, radio configuration, and battery condition.

Smart Battery Technology

The CT4486 incorporates smart battery technology designed to communicate with compatible Motorola charging equipment. It supports charging and reconditioning functions with compatible Motorola IMPRES and IMPRES 2 chargers.

Smart technology can assist with:

• Automatic charging control
• Battery information communication
• Charging-cycle management
• Reconditioning with compatible equipment
• Battery-capacity monitoring
• More efficient radio-fleet maintenance

Charger firmware and configuration can affect the availability of individual diagnostic features.

Short-Profile APX Battery

Despite its increased 4800mAh capacity, the CT4486 is designed as a short-profile battery. This helps preserve a more compact radio configuration compared with many extended-length APX batteries.

The short design is useful for law enforcement officers, security personnel, emergency responders, utility workers, and other professionals who need longer battery life without unnecessarily increasing radio height.

Rugged IP68 Protection

The CT4486 carries an IP68 rating, providing a high level of protection against dust and water under defined test conditions. Its rugged housing is intended for professional environments where radios may be exposed to:

• Rain and severe weather
• Dust and airborne debris
• Wet outdoor conditions
• Construction and industrial environments
• Public-safety and emergency-response operations
• Everyday bumps and impacts

The battery must be correctly attached to a compatible, undamaged radio to maintain the equipment’s applicable environmental protection.
