It replaces OEM part numbers PMNN4490, PMNN4490A, PMNN4490B, PMNN4490C, PMNN4418, PMNN4418AR, and PMNN4418BR. The pack fits directly into the XPR3000e series chassis and mates with Motorola's IMPRES and standard charging docks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXPR3000e series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The XPR3300, XPR3300e, XPR3550, and XPR3550e share the same battery bay geometry, contact pin layout, and 7.4V BMS handshake protocol — that's why one pack number covers the whole platform. The BMS communicates battery state to the radio's power management circuit over the same data pin on all four models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through a full charge-discharge sequence on an XPR3550e and monitored the BMS response through PTT transmit events. The overcurrent protection tripped correctly at sustained high-draw peaks and reset without lockout, confirming BMS behaviour matches the OEM spec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion into charging dock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the IMPRES or single-unit dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The Motorola platform requires a clean contact cycle for the new BMS to complete its initial handshake before the dock begins charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the XPR3300e cuts out mid-transmission on a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen you press PTT, the XPR3300e pulls a sharp current spike to drive the RF output stage — this can briefly dip cell voltage below the BMS's low-voltage cutoff threshold on a pack that hasn't completed its first full charge cycle. The BMS interprets that dip as an unsafe condition and momentarily disconnects the output, which kills the transmission. This is not a faulty pack. Charge the battery to full before the first operational use — a partially charged cell from storage voltage cannot absorb the transmit surge without tripping the cutoff. After one complete charge cycle, resting cell voltage should read 8.3–8.4V on a multimeter across the pack contacts before the radio powers on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected on a new PMNN4490\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe XPR3000e series uses a voltage-threshold bar indicator, not a fuel gauge chip — each bar corresponds to a fixed voltage window. A new pack ships at storage voltage, typically 3.7–3.8V per cell, which places the pack squarely in the two-bar or three-bar range rather than showing full. This is normal cell storage state, not a capacity problem. Charge the pack fully in the dock until the LED goes solid green, then power on the radio — the indicator will reflect the correct full-charge voltage of approximately 8.3V and display maximum bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426242658394,"sku":"BWCS-MPR491TW-1","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426242691162,"sku":"BWCS-MPR491TW-2","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426242723930,"sku":"BWCS-MPR491TW-3","price":100.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MPR491TW-1.webp?v=1779930523","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/motorola-xpr3300-replacement-battery-74v-2900mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
