Motorola PR1500 Batteries Motorola batteries provide lasting durability and are system tested to ensure optimum performance. Choose from several chemistry and capacity alternatives to meet your needs. NiCd batteries are best for extreme temperature environments and provide the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles. NiMH batteries offer extended-duty cycles, providing more talk time per shift.

Helical antennas are sturdy and dependable, providing years of reliable communication. The skirt at the base of the antenna helps to seal out potentially damaging environmental elements, and the connector is made of plated brass material for exceptionally long life. Dipole antennas are injection-molded in rugged polyurethane with a wide skirt at the bottom of the connector for protection against the elements. Flexible whip antennas have a one-piece finish, steel core, and spiral wound conductor for optimal strength and radiation characteristics. 8505644V01 Antenna, 136-150.8 MHZ Wideband Helical 8505518V01 Antenna, 136-174 MHZ Wideband Dipole 8505644V02 Antenna, 150.8-162 MHZ Wideband Helical 8505644V03 Antenna, 162-178 MHZ Wideband Helical NAE6546AR Antenna, 403-435 MHZ UHF Helical NAE6547AR Antenna, 435-470 MHZ UHF Helical NAE6548AR Antenna, 470-520 MHZ UHF Helical NAE6549AR Antenna, 403-520 MHZ UHF Whip Chargers You can safely charge most NiCD, NiMH, and Li-ion batteries to 90 percent capacity in one to two hours with either the NTN1667A or the NTN1177E.
