Things to check before you buy APX 6000 accessories
- APX 6000 or APX 6000XE? Most accessories on this page are listed for both, but not every item is. Check the model name on the label under the battery.
- Hazardous locations: “UL HazLoc-capable” accessories are only approved with specific UL-approved APX radios. Your radio’s manual lists the approved combinations. Motorola states that the radio and battery are approved together as a system.
- Firmware: The UL batteries PMNN4547 and PMNN4573 need radio firmware R25.01.00 or later for an accurate fuel gauge. The PMNN4891 clamshell needs R36.01.00 or later.
- Charging and warranty: Motorola gives IMPRES 2 batteries a 24-month capacity warranty when they are charged only in IMPRES 2 chargers, and 18 months otherwise.
- Fuel gauge accuracy: Motorola recommends calibrating IMPRES 2 batteries every 28 days.
- Public safety microphones need a separate PSM antenna and do not support VHF.
Frequently asked questions
Which battery comes with the APX 6000?
Motorola lists the PMNN4485 IMPRES 2 Li-ion 2550 mAh battery as the standard shipping battery for the APX 6000.
Do APX 7000 batteries fit the APX 6000?
Yes for the main IMPRES 2 packs. PMNN4485, PMNN4486, PMNN4487 and PMNN4494 are listed for the APX 6000, APX 6000XE, APX 7000, APX 7000XE and APX 8000 in Motorola’s catalog.
