It fits the BC-95 directly and restores transmit and receive capability to units with degraded or failed original packs. Capacity is 1200mAh at 7.2V, giving 8.64Wh total energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBC-95 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The BC-95 runs a 7.2V Ni-MH cell stack with a connector and contact layout matched to this pack. Ni-MH chemistry on this voltage rail means the radio's power management circuit reads charge state by tracking terminal voltage across a defined discharge curve — no proprietary BMS handshake is required for the radio to operate.\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 BC-95-class radio bench rig. The BMS held stable under PTT transmit spikes, and voltage held above the radio's low-battery cutoff through repeated keying sequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact strip condition before first charge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Before seating this pack in a dock for the first time, wipe the battery contact strip with a dry cloth. Residue from storage packaging can create enough resistance on the Ni-MH contact points to trigger a dock fault LED — a clean contact cycle lets the charger accept the pack without error.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the BC-95 cuts out mid-transmission on a fresh pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells ship at storage voltage — typically 1.0–1.1V per cell, which puts a six-cell 7.2V pack around 6.1–6.5V at rest. The BC-95's transmit circuit draws a sharp current spike at PTT press. If the pack hasn't completed at least one full charge cycle, that voltage can sag below the radio's transmit-enable threshold under load, cutting the transmission instantly. This is not a faulty battery — it's a cell at partial state of charge being asked to deliver full RF output current. Run one complete charge before first use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after installing a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe BC-95 reads charge state using voltage thresholds — each bar on the indicator corresponds to a voltage band across the Ni-MH discharge curve. A new pack at storage voltage sits in a lower band than a fully charged one, so the radio may display one or two bars even immediately after install. This is a voltage-threshold display issue, not a capacity problem. Charge the pack fully in the dock until the charger shows complete, then reinsert — the indicator will read correctly at full charge voltage, typically above 8.4V open-circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426334507098,"sku":"BWCS-FVX228TW-1","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426334539866,"sku":"BWCS-FVX228TW-2","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426334572634,"sku":"BWCS-FVX228TW-3","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-FVX228TW-1.webp?v=1779930720","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bearcom-bc-95-replacement-battery-72v-1200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
