We used to run Honeywell lithium polymer batteries on our XTS 5000s. Great batteries! They lasted 20+ hours with moderate transmit and near constant receive activity in talkgroup scan on a busy P25 trunked system. At the time I worked 12 hour shifts and often I could get about 2 shifts out of a healthy battery. We charged them with Motorola IMPRES chargers and never had an issue.
FWIW & YMMV!

Our city went with the Honeywell lithium ion batteries and kept the same chargers for the jacquar radios. Eventually, we've switched over now to motorola, but the NiMH batteries were aweful for the LPE and jacquar radios

I understand the issues surrounding the nmh vs li-ion charging schemes. Thank you both for your input.
I was hoping for a response from someone with up to date knowledge of the Harris product line and could say something like ¡°Yeah you need one of these and here is a PN and a picture so you know what it looks like.¡±
If there are any Harris guys out there, I am still looking for someone who knows something about jaguar chargers. Anyone? Buhler?
