Charger for Motorola APX 900 Universal Rapid Six-Bay Drop-in - Slim

In this review the Charger for Motorola APX 900 Universal Rapid Six-Bay Drop-in proves itself as a practical solution for teams that need simultaneous charging for multiple radios or spare batteries. The review finds the slim, six-bay desk charger most valuable for dispatch centers, security teams, maintenance crews, and other small-to-medium operations because it combines a compact footprint with rapid drop-in charging and universal adapter pods, allowing mixed chemistry charging for Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and Li-Polymer cells.

Key Features

• Six bay capacity: Allows up to six Motorola APX 900 radios or batteries to charge at once, cutting downtime for teams that rely on multiple handsets.
• Universal adapter pods: Six adapter cups are included so radios and standalone batteries of different chemistries or sizes can be seated and charged securely.
• Quad chemistry support: Compatible with Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and Li-Polymer chemistries, offering flexibility for varied battery types in mixed fleets.
• External power supply: Ships with a 100V - 240V AC to DC power supply and cord so it works reliably in different regions and typical office outlets.
• Slim desk profile: The low-profile design keeps the charger unobtrusive on a workbench or dispatch desk while still holding six units.

Who It's For

The charger is ideal for small operations that need to keep multiple Motorola APX radios topped up overnight or between shifts, including security teams, public works crews, and event staff. It is especially useful where radios are swapped frequently or where keeping spare batteries charged reduces operational delays.

It is less suitable for single-user buyers who only need one bay or for installations that require wall-mounted chargers or integrated rack systems; those users should look for single-bay or purpose-built mounting solutions instead.

Pros & Cons
