It fits both the DR 850 and DR-850 variants. Voltage and capacity match the OEM specification exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDR 850 and DR-850 fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both model designations use the same BPIPL103450 3S three-cell pack with a shared connector and BMS handshake. No adapter or wiring change is needed between variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through full charge and discharge on a DR 850 unit. The BMS held cell balance across all three cells and maintained stable voltage through the DAB decoder's operating range without triggering a protection cutoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStation list recovery after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this battery, run a full auto-scan from the DR 850 menu before tuning manually. DAB station lists are held in volatile memory and are cleared when the power rail drops completely. A fresh scan rebuilds the full station list from the DAB multiplex signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRadio cutting out mid-station at low battery on the DR 850\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe DR 850's DAB decoder needs a stable voltage to maintain stream synchronisation. As the battery discharges, voltage sag under RF load causes brief dropouts in the data stream, which the decoder cannot recover from mid-frame. This produces audio cut-outs or a complete loss of the station lock before the low-battery indicator even appears. The cutout threshold sits around 9.0V under load — well above the BMS hard cutoff — so the radio loses the stream before the protection circuit trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eReception noticeably worse after fitting a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003ePoor reception after a battery swap is almost always a station list issue, not an RF problem. The DR 850 stores tuned multiplex frequencies alongside its station list — when that list is wiped by power loss, the radio may attempt to tune stored frequencies that no longer match local transmitters. Go into settings and run a full auto-scan. If reception is still weak after the scan, check that the battery voltage reads above 10.5V at rest, since the RF front-end draws full power only above that threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360089145434,"sku":"BWCS-ADR850SL-1","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360089178202,"sku":"BWCS-ADR850SL-2","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360089210970,"sku":"BWCS-ADR850SL-3","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-ADR850SL-1.webp?v=1778610859","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/albrecht-dr-850-replacement-battery-111v-1800mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
