Charger for Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e Universal Rapid Six-Bay

In this review the Charger for Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e Universal Rapid Six-Bay Drop-in earns its place for teams that need reliable, compact multi-unit charging. The bottom line: it is a practical choice for organizations that manage multiple radios and need simultaneous rapid charging for mixed battery chemistries. The kit arrives pre-configured with an external 100V - 240V AC to DC power supply and six adapter cups, making setup fast and reducing downtime for fleets that use Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e radios or compatible APX and XPR models.

Key Features

• Slim six-bay design: The compact footprint saves desk and shelf space while still allowing simultaneous charging of six radios or batteries.
• Universal chemistry support: Works with Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries so mixed battery inventories can be charged together.
• Includes external power supply: The supplied 100V - 240V AC to DC adapter simplifies installation and works internationally where voltages vary.
• Drop-in convenience: Radios can be charged with or without the radio attached to the battery, streamlining quick swaps and storage charging.
• Pre-configured kit: Ships with six adapter cups so teams can begin charging multiple Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e units straight away.
• 12 month warranty: A one year warranty provides basic peace of mind for business use and daily operational demands.

Who It's For

The charger is aimed at small to mid-size operations that maintain multiple two-way radios, such as security teams, event staff, warehouses and municipal crews. Its ability to charge different chemistries and batteries at once is useful for mixed fleets where not every battery is the same age or type.

It is less relevant for single-user buyers or those who only own one or two radios; a single-bay or desk charger would be a simpler and lower-cost option for those users. Also, users who require vehicle-mounted or intrinsically safe charging solutions should look for purpose-built hardware for those environments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Charges up to six Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e radios or batteries at once, reducing fleet downtime.
• Supports four battery chemistries so mixed packs can be managed without separate chargers.
• Slim footprint and drop-in bays keep workspace neat while providing rapid charging cycles.
• Includes external 100V - 240V power supply for easy global deployment.

Cons

• Not intended for rugged vehicle or intrinsically safe environments, so additional hardware may be needed for specialized use cases.
• Limited to six bays, so very large fleets will require multiple units and additional power planning.

Our Verdict

For teams running multiple Motorola MOTOTRBO radios the charger offers strong practical value: it charges mixed battery types, fills six bays in a slim package and comes with the power supply and adapter cups needed for immediate use. Small operations and mixed-fleet environments will find it especially useful, while very large fleets or specialized vehicle installations may need additional or alternative solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the charger charge radios with the battery still installed?
Yes, the drop-in bays charge radios with or without the radio attached to the battery, allowing flexibility for quick swaps.

Does it work outside North America voltage ranges?
Yes, the included external power supply accepts 100V - 240V AC so it functions across different regional voltages.

Will it charge batteries of different chemistries at the same time?
Yes, the universal design supports Ni-CD, Ni-MH, Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries and can handle mixed chemistries in separate bays.
