In this review the RLN4884B vehicle car charger is evaluated for technicians, field workers, and anyone who relies on Motorola-style portable radios. The bottom line: this unit is a straightforward, reliable replacement that lets users charge radios from the vehicle cigarette lighter without swapping batteries or returning to the office. For those who need continuous radio availability while on the road, the RLN4884B stands out because it includes a volt regulator plug, rapid charger base, coil cord and mounting hardware to create a durable in-vehicle charging station.

Key Features

• Vehicle charger replacement: Replaces RLN4884, RLN4884b and RLN4884c so teams can restore in-vehicle charging with a compatible drop-in solution.
• Direct cigarette lighter plug: The charger plugs into the vehicle cigarette lighter adapter for immediate power without modifying the vehicle electrical system.
• Works with many portable radios: Compatible with XTS1500, XTS2500, XTS3000, XTS3500, XTS4250, XTS5000, HT1000, GP900, GP1200 and PR1500 radios to support mixed radio fleets.
• Battery compatibility: Supports a wide range of batteries including NTN9815, NTN9816, NTN9858, NTN9857 and several PMNN/NNTN models so spare batteries remain useful.
• Complete mounting kit: Ships with a volt regulator cigarette lighter adapter, RLN4884 rapid charger base, coil cord, mounting bracket and four screws for secure vehicle installation.

Who It's For

The RLN4884B is best for fleet drivers, emergency responders, service technicians and construction supervisors who need to keep two-way radios charged during shifts away from a facility. It suits anyone who wants a plug-and-play vehicle charging option that mounts in a truck, van or patrol car.

Those who primarily charge radios at a central station or who use radios with proprietary vehicle connectors different from the models listed should look elsewhere; this unit is optimized for portable radios and battery types specified by the manufacturer and is not a universal USB solution.
