Battery Compatible with Motorola XTS 1500 Radio - 7.4V 2500 mAH Li-ION

In this review the bottom line is straightforward: this 7.4V 2500mAH Li-ION battery is a practical replacement for users who need reliable runtime for Motorola XTS series and related radios. It is aimed at professional and hobbyist two-way radio users who want a brand new, premium-quality pack that matches original equipment performance and carries a 12 month warranty. The reviewer found it performs predictably under normal duty cycles, offers solid construction with gold plated contacts, and is best chosen when OEM compatibility and a clear warranty are priorities.

Key Features

• 7.4V 2500mAH capacity: Provides extended runtime compared with smaller packs, helping radios stay on duty longer during a shift or event.
• Premium A Grade cells: Uses graded and sorted cells to deliver consistent capacity and moderate longevity under typical discharge conditions.
• Gold plated contacts: Resistance welded, gold plated contacts improve connection reliability and reduce intermittent power loss in field use.
• OEM compatibility: Fully compatible with many Motorola models and replacement part numbers so it fits and communicates with the radio as expected.
• 12 month warranty: A year of coverage offers buyers reassurance against early defects and capacity issues after shipment.

Who It's For

This battery is a good fit for first responders, security teams, event staff, and radio enthusiasts who rely on Motorola Radius and XTS series radios and need an affordable, brand new replacement that claims OEM-level compatibility. Users who swap batteries frequently or require reliable daily runtime will appreciate the 2500mAH capacity and robust contacts.

It is less suitable for those seeking smart battery features such as integrated fuel gauges or manufacturer-specific battery authentication, or users who require extended multi-day runtime without access to charging. Also, if you need a battery pack certified by a specific agency beyond the stated warranty, check requirements before purchasing.
