Application and Installation Notes
Rechargeable coin cell batteries serve a critical function in two-way radio equipment by maintaining memory when the main power source is disconnected. These batteries power low-current circuits that retain channel programming, frequency settings, CTCSS/DCS codes, time/date information, and other configuration data. Without a functional backup battery, radios may lose all programming when the main battery is removed for charging or replacement, requiring complete reprogramming before the radio can be returned to service. The rechargeable design means the battery automatically recharges from the radio's power supply when the main battery is installed, eliminating the need for periodic replacement like non-rechargeable backup batteries.
Installation requires basic technical skills and access to the radio's internal components. The backup battery is typically located on the main circuit board, mounted in a specialized coin cell holder with spring contacts. To replace, carefully open the radio housing following manufacturer service procedures, locate the backup battery holder, note the proper polarity orientation, remove the old battery, and install the new MS621FEX cell with correct polarity. After installation, allow the radio to charge the new battery for several hours before removing the main battery. Improper polarity can damage sensitive memory circuits, so verify positive and negative orientation carefully before closing the radio housing.
These batteries should be replaced during preventive maintenance when symptoms indicate backup battery failure, including loss of programming when changing main batteries, clock reset to default time, or loss of stored channel data. Typical service life is 3-5 years depending on usage patterns and charging conditions. The 10-pack quantity is ideal for service centers maintaining multiple radio units, fleet maintenance operations, or repair shops that regularly service Motorola communications equipment. Always use genuine Motorola-specified batteries to ensure proper voltage regulation and prevent potential damage to memory circuits.
Perfect for authorized Motorola service centers, communications equipment repair facilities, public safety radio maintenance departments, commercial radio fleet operators, and professional electronics technicians.
