Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Easy to carry and easy to change, Motorola's 53615 is a spare Ni-Cd rechargeable battery that no owner of a Motorola T5320, T5400, T5420, T5600, T5620, T5700, T5720, T5800, or T5820 two-way radio should ever be without. If you have a two-way radio that runs on AA alkaline batteries, you'll need Motorola's rechargeable battery upgrade kit instead (model number 53614), which includes two batteries and AA-style adapters and powers up to two radios when radios are docked within the Ni-Cd charging unit.

What's in the Box
One NiCd rechargeable battery and its instruction sheet.

While the product description states this battery is "Compatible with Motorola T5320, T5400, T5420, T5600, T5620, T5700, T5720, T5800, and T5820 2-way radios" the 53615 is compatible with many more. To bad Amazon couldn't put this online for us.

First, I'd like to say thank you to Amazon for selling these batteries at a much lower price than the Motorola website (and I get free shipping). I am purchasing them as replacements for the ones that came with the radios. As a previous reviewer noted, after a couple of years of regular use, they stop working well. They are ultimately a good investment if you intend to use them around the house, farm, or office on a daily basis. I do want to note though after a similar experience with the radios at work that if your battery pack stops working and you need to use the radios, 3 AA batteries can be used in place (but DO NOT use the rechargeable variety, just standard Duracell or Energizer AAs). If you open the back of your radio and pop out the rechargeable unit, you will see the icon for AA batteries. It works well for a few days, long enough to make a decision about the Motorola replacement pack.

The product description is a little misleading as this battery is actually a 3.6v 650mAh NiMH battery rather than a NiCD. The Motorola part number is KEBT-071-D. It works correctly in my EM series radios.
