It fits the BC120XLT, BC220XLT, BC230XLT, and BC235XLT. Dimensions are 50.51 × 38.80 × 28.60mm — a direct physical match for the original battery bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBC120XLT and BC220XLT series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These Bearcat scanners share the same 4.8V four-cell Ni-MH battery bay and connector pinout. The BP120, BP150, BP180, and BP250 OEM part numbers all cross to this same physical format, so one replacement covers the full platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on a BC120XLT dock. The BMS accepted the handshake within the first charge cycle, and the scanner's bar indicator climbed consistently across voltage thresholds as the cells came up from storage charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle contact check on Bearcat scanner docks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the battery and wipe the contact strip with a dry cloth before reseating. Bearcat scanner chargers run a contact-integrity check before accepting a new pack — any surface oxidation on the contacts will block that handshake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the BC120XLT bar indicator reads low on a freshly inserted new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells leave the warehouse at roughly 40–60% of rated capacity — this is deliberate storage voltage, not a cell defect. The BC120XLT uses a simple voltage-threshold bar indicator: if the pack hasn't completed a full charge cycle, the resting voltage sits below the threshold for a full-bar reading. One complete charge from the dock will bring the cells to 5.5–5.7V across the pack. After that first cycle, the indicator will reflect actual charge state accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eScanner powers on but shuts off immediately after a long storage period\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA Ni-MH pack stored for more than six months can drop below 1.0V per cell — at that point the BC120XLT's protection circuit will not sustain power draw even when the scanner appears to turn on. This isn't a failed battery. Place the pack in the charger and leave it for a full uninterrupted charge cycle; Ni-MH chemistry responds to a slow recovery charge from low voltage. If the dock accepts the pack and the charge LED activates, the cells are recovering. Check pack voltage after the cycle — it should read above 4.6V before reinstalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426371928154,"sku":"BWCS-SC150BL-1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426371960922,"sku":"BWCS-SC150BL-2","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426371993690,"sku":"BWCS-SC150BL-3","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SC150BL_1.webp?v=1779931027","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bearcat-bc120xlt-replacement-battery-48v-1200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
