ENC-MOT8294 7.2V 1500mAh Ni-CD Rechargeable Battery for Motorola XTS3000 / XTS5000 Two-way Radio

The ENC-MOT8294 replacement battery is fully compatible with the following Motorola two-way radio models:

✅ One Battery for the Entire XTS3000 / XTS5000 Astro Fleet
Direct replacement for Motorola OEM battery NTN8294, covering the XTS3000 / XTS5000 Astro digital portables plus XTS3500, XT5300, XTS4250, MTP200 and MTP300 — one battery standard that unifies mixed Astro-platform fleets, simplifies spare-parts inventory and charging management. Plug-and-play fit, no modification required.

✅ Rugged Ni-CD Chemistry Built for Harsh Duty
Industrial-grade Ni-CD cells deliver stable 7.2V output and 1500mAh capacity with outstanding abuse tolerance: they shrug off over-charging, deep discharge and high-rate fast charging, and keep delivering full capacity in freezing conditions down to -20 degrees C where other chemistries fade. The economical workhorse choice for large fleets running daily battery rotation, backup pools and demanding outdoor operations.

✅ Zero Charger Investment & Rugged Housing
Works with your existing Motorola Astro-series Ni-CD / Ni-MH chargers using negative delta-V or timer-based cutoff logic — no new charging infrastructure required. Robust high-impact ABS/PC composite housing and brass golden plated low-resistance contacts — anti-drop, dustproof and moisture resistant. Built-in short-circuit protection, over-temperature protection, charging temperature sensor and reverse polarity protection safeguard daily fleet operations. The 16.04*5.90*2.25cm form factor faithfully follows the original NTN8294 battery dimensions for a balanced, secure fit on the radio chassis.

• ⭐ OEM NTN8294 Replacement — Faithfully matches original dimensions (16.04*5.90*2.25cm), drop-in fit for XTS3000 / XTS5000 and 5 more Astro-platform models without modification
• ⭐ Astro-Fleet Single-SKU Solution — One pack serves XTS3000 / XTS3500 / XTS5000 / XT5300 / XTS4250 / MTP200 / MTP300 mixed fleets, ideal for unified battery management
• ⭐ Extreme-Temperature Performer — Full capacity delivery down to -20 degrees C, ideal for winter patrol, cold-storage facilities, mountain rescue and high-altitude operations
• ⭐ Fast-Charge & Abuse-Tolerant Ni-CD — Supports rapid charging and tolerates deep discharge and over-charge far better than other chemistries; a periodic full-discharge refresh cycle restores peak capacity
• ⭐ Industrial Craftsmanship & Warranty — Brass golden plated contacts, 100% aging tested before shipment, OEM private label available, 12-month full quality warranty

• ⚠ Do not disassemble, puncture, crush or modify the battery housing — internal cell damage may cause electrolyte leakage, overheating or fire. Stop using the battery immediately if you notice unusual heat, odor or deformation, and move it to a safe non-flammable area away from combustibles. If leaked electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention.

• ⚠ Keep battery terminals away from metal objects such as coins, keys and jewelry to prevent accidental short-circuit. Do not expose the battery to high temperature above 60 degrees C, direct sunlight or open flame for extended periods.

• ⚠ Only charge with a Ni-CD / Ni-MH compatible charger using negative delta-V or timer-based cutoff logic rated for 7.2V packs — including your existing Motorola Astro-series charger for NTN8294-type packs. Do NOT use a Li-ion CC/CV 8.4V charger on this Ni-CD battery — the charging logic is completely different and may cause overheating or permanent damage.

• ⚠ This battery contains cadmium. Spent packs must be disposed of at an authorized battery recycling collection point in compliance with local and international regulations governing Ni-CD batteries — never put them in household waste or general trash. For long-term storage, keep the pack in a cool dry place and recharge every 3 months.
