Xts2500 model ii battery issue

[firebell9137]

Hi. I have a xts2500 model ii uhf radio. Im currently using a Brand new Motorola NNTN7335B 2800mah impres lithium ion battery for power. I use it for listening only at this time. My battery gets to 2 bars at 80% and at 50% still at 2 bars, it starts chirping low battery. Doesnt even go to 1 bar. Did it last night and It only has 4 charges according to the battery status. What should i do for this problem? Can it be tuned? Im using the current software at this time. Please let me know asap. Thanks.

Do you have the early low battery alert enabled in the CPS?

Nope. On standard. It is an oem battery

I’ve been using XTS2500’s for years. while they’re a great radio, the battery readings are quite useless. When the radio shows I have 2200 ma capacity left, the Moto battery analyzer shows it‘s really 2800 ma. OTOH, on my APX when it shows I have 3400 ma left, the analyzer shows 3430 ma. The APX readings are right on the money.

If the firmware isn't the last release(s) 20.50.09 or 20.50.10, do the radio a favor and update it. There's too many fixes to ignore over the years. Then use it, plop it on the charger when it has it's fits and let it go thru a recondition cycle when the times comes for it to decide to recondition (orange light instead of red)

In my case, I have the newest FW, & all 8 2500’s read about 600 ma low compared to the Moto Impres battery analyzer.
