Motorola PMNN4486A IMPRES 2 APX Battery – 3400mAh

Keep your mission-critical Motorola APX radio powered throughout demanding shifts with the Motorola PMNN4486A IMPRES 2 battery. This genuine Motorola rechargeable battery combines a high-capacity 3400mAh lithium-ion cell, intelligent IMPRES 2 battery management, and rugged IP68 protection in a relatively lightweight design.

Motorola rates the PMNN4486A for approximately 15.5 hours of operation using a standard 5/5/90 duty cycle—5% transmitting, 5% receiving, and 90% standby. Actual battery life will vary according to radio model, signal strength, transmit power, GPS and Bluetooth use, display activity, temperature, battery age, and other operating conditions.

Designed for public safety, government, security, military, utilities, and industrial radio users, the PMNN4486A delivers dependable power while helping compatible IMPRES chargers track battery condition and optimize charging.

Motorola PMNN4486A Runtime

The published 15.5-hour runtime is an estimate, not a guaranteed operating time. Motorola bases this figure on a 5/5/90 duty cycle:

• 5% transmitting
• 5% receiving
• 90% standby

For many users, this provides enough power for a standard 8-, 10-, or 12-hour shift while maintaining a reasonable reserve. Heavy transmitting, weak system coverage, high audio volume, cold temperatures, Bluetooth accessories, GPS activity, and an aging battery may reduce runtime.

• Voltage: 7.4V
• Energy: approximately 25.1Wh

Compatible Motorola Radios

The Motorola PMNN4486A battery is compatible with the following portable radios:

• Motorola APX 6000
• Motorola APX 6000XE
• Motorola APX 7000
• Motorola APX 7000XE
• Motorola APX 8000
• Motorola SRX 2200

Compatibility can depend on the radio’s exact configuration and regional version. Confirm your radio model and existing battery number before ordering.

Key Features and Benefits

3400mAh Lithium-Ion Capacity

The PMNN4486A provides 3400mAh of rechargeable lithium-ion capacity, offering a strong balance between runtime, weight, and radio profile. Li-Ion chemistry also eliminates the traditional memory effect associated with older rechargeable battery technologies.

IMPRES 2 Battery Technology

When used with a compatible Motorola IMPRES or IMPRES 2 charger, the battery supports intelligent charging and battery-management functions. The IMPRES system can help:

• Optimize charging cycles
• Reduce unnecessary reconditioning
• Track battery usage and condition
• Improve long-term battery management
• Help fleet managers identify batteries approaching replacement

An IMPRES 2 charger is recommended to obtain the most complete charging and battery-management functionality.

Rugged IP68 Protection

The PMNN4486A carries an IP68 rating for resistance to dust and water. Motorola specifies protection against submersion in up to two meters of water for as long as four hours under prescribed test conditions.

This rugged construction makes the battery well suited for law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency services, utilities, industrial facilities, and outdoor field operations.

Cold-Weather Performance

The battery is designed for operation in demanding environments and carries a -20°C rating, helping support reliable radio use in cold-weather assignments.

Practical Shift-Length Power

With an estimated 15.5-hour operating time under standardized conditions, the PMNN4486A is a practical choice for users who need more capacity than a basic battery without moving to one of the largest extended-capacity packs.
