Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Kenwood TK-2200 Series — 7.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (KNB-29N / KNB-30N)
This is a 7.2V 2500mAh Ni-MH battery for the Kenwood TK-2200, TK-2202, TK-2206, TK-2207, and over 80 compatible models in the same series. It replaces OEM packs including KNB-29N, KNB-30N, KNB-53N, and RAD0148. The pack slots into the same battery bay and connects through the same multi-pin contact strip used across the TK-2200 platform.
- TK-2200 series platform fit: These models share a common 7.2V battery bay, identical contact geometry, and the same BMS handshake protocol. A pack built to this spec will seat and communicate correctly across all listed variants without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through full charge and PTT-cycle discharge on a TK-2202. The BMS handled transmit current spikes without tripping, and the charger dock accepted the handshake on first insertion with no fault LED.
- First-cycle contact prep on Kenwood docks: If the KSC-35 or KSC-31 dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The dock requires a clean contact cycle to read the BMS before charging begins.
Why the TK-2200 cuts out mid-transmission on a new Ni-MH pack
Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage — typically around 6.0–6.4V for a 7.2V pack. When you press PTT, the radio draws a sharp transmit current spike that can push a storage-voltage cell below the BMS low-voltage cutoff threshold. The radio reads this as a depleted pack and drops the transmission. This is not a fault with the battery. Charge the pack fully in the dock before first use in the radio, and the cutout stops.
Bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after a full charge cycle
The TK-2200 uses a simple voltage-threshold bar display — each bar maps to a specific pack voltage under load. A new Ni-MH cell needs two to three full charge-discharge cycles before it reaches full charge acceptance. On the first cycle, the pack may peak slightly below the voltage threshold for the top bar. Run two complete cycles through the KSC-35 dock, and the indicator will read correctly at the voltage the radio expects to see.

Frequently Asked Questions
My TK-2202 cuts out every time I press PTT — is the new battery faulty?
It is not faulty. Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage, usually around 6.0–6.4V for this pack. When PTT fires a transmit current spike, the BMS reads that low cell voltage as depleted and cuts the output to protect the pack. Charge the battery fully in a KSC-35 or KSC-31 dock before putting the radio into service. After a full charge cycle the cutout stops.
The KSC-35 dock is blinking a fault LED and won't start charging — what's wrong?
The Kenwood dock checks the contact strip for a valid BMS signal before it begins charging. If the gold contacts on the battery or dock are slightly oxidised or dusty from storage, that handshake fails and the dock throws a fault LED instead of starting the charge cycle. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip on both the battery and the dock with a dry cloth, and reseat the pack firmly. The fault LED should clear and charging should begin within 30 seconds.
Radio is dropping to low transmit power mid-shift even though the battery was fully charged at the start — what's causing that?
This is voltage sag under sustained RF output. A Ni-MH pack under repeated back-to-back transmissions builds internal heat, and cell voltage under load drops faster than it would on a rested pack. The TK-2200 platform steps down TX power automatically when it detects pack voltage falling below a set threshold to protect the final stage. Let the pack cool for five minutes and check resting voltage — it should read above 7.0V. If it recovers above that level, the pack is sound; the radio was simply drawing faster than the cells could recover between transmissions.
