Motorola Solutions PMLN6597 Multi-Unit Charger

Keeping multiple two-way radios charged and ready for daily operations is essential for businesses that depend on reliable communication. The Motorola Solutions PMLN6597 Multi-Unit Charger provides a convenient six-pocket charging solution designed for compatible Motorola commercial portable radios and batteries.

With the ability to charge up to six radios or batteries simultaneously, the PMLN6597 helps organizations streamline their charging setup while reducing the need for multiple individual desktop chargers. Each charging pocket includes an LED indicator to provide charging-status information.

Efficient Six-Unit Charging

The PMLN6597 is designed for organizations that manage several portable radios at the same time. Instead of dedicating a separate charger to each radio, users can place multiple radios or batteries into one centralized multi-unit charging station.

Motorola documentation specifies that the charger has six charging locations and can charge up to six compatible radios or batteries in any combination.

This makes it particularly useful for teams that need to prepare multiple radios for the beginning of a shift or keep spare batteries available for continuous operations.

Key Features of the Motorola PMLN6597

  • Six charging pockets

  • Charges up to 6 compatible radios or batteries simultaneously

  • LED charging-status indicator for each pocket

  • Compact multi-unit charging design

  • Designed for compatible Motorola commercial portable radios

  • Supports charging of radios with batteries installed or compatible standalone batteries

  • Replaceable charging pockets

  • Designed for 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz applications when paired with the appropriate regional power cord

  • Available with regional power-cord configurations

  • Compatible with selected Motorola CP, DEP, EP and other commercial radio platforms depending on the charging pocket and configuration

Charge Six Radios or Batteries at Once

The main advantage of the PMLN6597 is its six-unit charging capacity.

Motorola's multi-unit charger documentation states that the charger can charge up to six authorized radios or batteries simultaneously. Users can charge radios with batteries installed or charge compatible batteries separately, providing flexibility for organizations that maintain spare batteries for shift changes.

For businesses operating multiple radios, a centralized charging station can make it easier to organize equipment and prepare radios for the next work period.

LED Charging Indicators

Each charging pocket includes an LED indicator that communicates the charging status of the radio or battery in that position.

Individual status indicators allow users to quickly check the charging condition of multiple radios without having to remove each radio from the charger.

This can be especially useful in environments where several employees share a common pool of communication equipment.

Compact Multi-Unit Design

The PMLN6597 combines six charging locations into a single desktop charging station.

The charger measures approximately 17.25 inches long × 6.25 inches wide × 3 inches high, providing a centralized charging solution for multiple portable radios while helping reduce the number of separate chargers and power connections required.

Designed for Compatible Motorola Radios

Motorola identifies the PMLN6597 as a multi-unit charger for compatible commercial portable radios. The current Motorola product listing identifies compatibility with models including:

  • CP1300

  • CP1600

  • CP1660

  • CP185

  • CP261

  • CP264I

  • DEP250

  • EP350MX

  • XiR C1200

  • XiR C2620

  • XiR C2660

The Motorola CP185 product page also identifies the PMLN6597 as a multi-unit charger designed to charge up to six CP185 Series radios.

Because charging pockets and radio compatibility can vary by configuration, customers should verify the exact radio model before ordering.

Replaceable Charging Pockets

The Motorola multi-unit charging system uses individual charging pockets that fit into the six-position base.

Motorola documentation identifies the NNTN8461 as a charging pocket associated with the PMLN6597 and PMLN6588 multi-unit chargers. This modular design can simplify maintenance when a charging pocket needs replacement rather than requiring replacement of the complete base unit.

Regional Power Cord Options

The PMLN6597 family is available with regional power configurations. Motorola documentation lists different charger kit numbers and power cords for markets including the United States/North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia/New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Brazil, and other regions.

For the U.S./North American configuration, Motorola identifies PMLN6597 with power cord 3004209T04.

Customers outside the U.S. should confirm the correct regional charger and power-cord configuration before purchasing.

Ideal Applications

The Motorola PMLN6597 can be useful for organizations that operate several compatible portable radios and need a centralized charging solution.

Security

Security teams can keep multiple radios organized and charging between shifts. A six-position charger provides a central location for shared communication equipment.

Construction

Construction crews can charge several portable radios simultaneously at the end of a workday or between shifts.

Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities

Manufacturing operations often depend on multiple radios for coordination between production areas, maintenance personnel, supervisors, and other teams. A multi-unit charger helps keep these radios ready for use.

Warehousing & Logistics

Warehouse and logistics operations can use the PMLN6597 to charge radios used for inventory management, loading operations, transportation coordination, and facility communication.

Transportation & Fleet Operations

Fleet teams can maintain multiple radios and spare batteries in one centralized charging location, helping support shift-based operations.

Schools & Universities

Campus maintenance, security, facilities, and event teams can use compatible Motorola radios and a centralized multi-unit charging system to manage their communication equipment.

Hospitality

Hotels, resorts, event venues, and large facilities can use multi-unit charging for radios assigned to security, maintenance, housekeeping, engineering, and operations teams.

Why Use a Multi-Unit Charger?

Individual desktop chargers can require multiple outlets and additional workspace when an organization operates a large number of portable radios.

A six-unit charger consolidates charging into a single station, making it easier to establish a dedicated location for radio charging. The PMLN6597 also allows organizations to charge radios and compatible spare batteries as part of the same centralized setup.

For shift-based operations, this can make the charging process more organized and repeatable.
