IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
Do I have it correct that the ONLY way to get a Motorola IMPRES charger with the full LCD display treatment for either XTS5000 or XTS2500 LiIon batteries is to purchase the ginormous 6 unit gang charger, and as a minimum, equip at least one of the six bays with the IMPRES circuitry and its associated LCD display? My only other choice is to "roll my own," with some sort of Rube Goldburg lashup?
Re: IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
There is a mod out there to add the LCD readout from a Impres Six unit charger to the Single unit charger on Bat Labs.Another way is to get the Impres Battery readout cradle that connects to a pc.I know this way is not a charger but another way to get the Battery info.
In Memory of those that serve.

Re: IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
That's what I meant by a "Rube Goldburg approach."
My question is whether it is correct, or not, that Motorola does/does not make a single unit IMPRES charger with a full LCD display. Sadly, I don't think they do, but I'm hoping I am wrong.

Did you read the thread?

Pro Series, TRBO, APX and Jedi/XTS vehicle IMPRES chargers come with an expansion jack for a future external display module. APX 2 slot desk chargers have the option for displays.

Re: IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
So what we "need" is a battery holder adaptor that converts an APX battery pocket to an XTS battery type! I do know that adaptors can be placed into the XTS pocket to accomodate the new APX batteries, so maybe the reverse will come to fruition?
Re: IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
Not likely, the APX batteries have a different footprint and contact height than the XTS batteries.

Re: IMPRES Full Display Single Unit Charger
Correct, but Motorola makes an adaptor that allows APX batteries to be inserted into JEDI-series chargers, which accomodates the different footprint, contact height, and various other form factors. Therefore, I'm wondering (hoping!) they will come out with a reverse adaptor.akardam wrote:Not likely, the APX batteries have a different footprint and contact height than the XTS batteries.

In that case, since you don't seem to want to accept the answer that's been provided you should ask Motorola about thisASTROMODAT wrote:Correct, but Motorola makes an adaptor that allows APX batteries to be inserted into JEDI-series chargers, which accomodates the different footprint, contact height, and various other form factors.
