Who It's For

This charger is best for security teams, field service crews, and public safety departments that operate multiple Motorola APX 7000 series radios and need a compact, dependable charging station. Organizations that mix battery chemistries or keep spare batteries will appreciate the six adapter pods and quad-chemistry support.
