Key Features

• Single bay rapid charger: Provides a fast, drop-in charge for a Motorola APX 900 radio or compatible battery pack when time is limited.

Who It's For

The Charger for Motorola APX 900 Single Bay In-Vehicle Rapid is best for users who need reliable, fast charging inside vehicles: police, fire, EMS, security teams and fleet drivers who carry APX 900 radios. It suits teams that require a secure mount and a compact footprint so the charger does not intrude on vehicle space.
