10. IMPRES™ batteries have a memory chip that stores the batteries usage information. This chip saves radio users time by not requiring them to manually record battery use.

9. The cycle life (number of times the battery is used) is optimized with IMPRES™ batteries, which maximizes talk time.

8. IMPRES™ batteries are “Proven Tough”. This means that they pass Motorola’s rigorious Accelerated Life Testing, which simulates five years of field use in extreme environments.

7. Intelligent charge features: Once a battery is fully charged, it stops charging. Non-IMPRES™ batteries will continue to charge. The main benefit here is that you can store the battery on the charger indefinitely with no fear of over charging.

6. IMPRES™ chargers automatically determine when the battery needs to be reconditioned. No need for expensive reconditioning chargers

5. Reconditioning is based on actual usage of the battery as compared to “guessed” usage.

4. Impres™ 6 bank chargers with display units, show you relevant information; such as:

  • Battery charge status
  • Time remaining to complete charge
  • Serial number and battery chemistry
  • Charge capacity and voltage

3. By seeing how much capacity is left in the battery, you can now make informed decisions on when to replace your batteries.

2. IMPRES™ chargers can also charge non-IMPRES™ batteries. This let’s you migrate your battery fleet over to IMPRES™ batteries at your own pace.

1. IMPRES™ batteries come with an additional 6 month extended warranty when used exclusively with Impres chargers.

Knowing Your Two Way Radios are in Good Hands

A couple of posts ago, I wrote that we donated two way radios to the BOMA San Diego work party. Pedro Anaya, Associate Executive Director for the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, recently commented on the BPR 40 radios:

“The radios have made our work at the YMCA much smoother as we are able to better communicate during special events, day camp, and tournament weekends. Our staff is now better connected further improving the quality of our programs.”

We’re glad that our contribution has helped the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA.

  • The San Diego Business Journal and Robert Half® recently announced that we are one of San Diego’s 100 Fastest growing privately held companies.
  • Inc.com has informed us that we have earned a place on their inaugural Inc. 5,000 list.
  • Our two way radio videos have also received attention, with an article in the San Diego Business Journal.

These awards are a reflection of the customer service and two way radio expertise that we have shown for the past 19 years.
