Well i picked up one of these monsters. i did the conversion from 3600 to analog and updated to the newest firm ware
here is the issue. the radio came with a "new battery" nntn8287a. it worked fine before i did the upgrades. now with the newer firm ware i get an wrong battery error.
is there a way to adjust this or do i need an nntn7789a battery

Not sure if op is still monitoring.
I thought the latest firmware had a drop down to select what version is battery was attached. According to my Mol 7789 shows not available however might be restricted to Canada.

Re: XPR 6580 IS Battery
The original version of the XPR6580IS was 1-watt output, and used the NNTN7789A battery. The newer "refreshed" version is 2-watts output, and used the NNTN8287A, as the original battery could not supply enough current for the higher output power. I can confirm the 7789 is no longer available, even here in Canada on our MOL account. Originally, you could not mix & match the batteries with radio revisions, you would get the error. I can't confirm if the newest firmware allows you to choose which battery is attached, as I haven't dealt with the radios in a couple of years now.

Re: XPR 6580 IS Battery
That's what i am getting. When i fully charge the battery it causes and issue. when it goes low it is fine. wonder if the battery is toasted
Re: XPR 6580 IS Battery
No the cps has no selection for battery type. I updated to latest and also got the battery error. I ended up for now putting piece of tape over center contact. Going to use that unmentionable software to try and force and older firmware in.
Re: XPR 6580 IS Battery
Im having the same issue with the wrong battery alert. The Cps 13.5 does not have a drop down menu to allow setting the battery certification feature
Has anyone else figured out a work around other then taping the battery so the Impress chip has no funtion

Yeah don't upgrade the firmware. If I left with the firmware that they originally were on there is no alert.
