These are portable two-way radios and thermal imaging units used in industrial and emergency response environments. Voltage and capacity match the OEM specification exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommander MX \/ TIX \/ TI Commander platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three devices share the same battery bay geometry and 9.6V nominal voltage rail. The connector and contact layout are identical across the platform, so one pack covers the full family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on the Commander MX platform. The BMS handled transmit-current spikes without tripping, and the cell voltage held stable across the full discharge curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-insertion contact check on the Bullard dock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the charger shows a fault or does not begin charging on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The Bullard charging dock requires a clean contact cycle to register the new pack's BMS before charging begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Commander MX cuts out mid-transmission on a new Ni-MH 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, or around 9.6–9.9V across an eight-cell pack. When PTT is pressed, the transmit current spike can pull that resting voltage below the radio's BMS cutoff threshold before the cells have gone through a full conditioning cycle. The fix is to run two or three full charge-discharge cycles before field use. After conditioning, cell voltage under transmit load stabilises and mid-transmission dropouts stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after a full charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Commander MX uses a voltage-threshold bar indicator — each bar corresponds to a voltage window, not a capacity percentage. A new Ni-MH pack straight off its first charge may read one bar low because the cells haven't settled to their true rested voltage yet. Let the pack rest off the charger for 15–30 minutes after a full charge cycle and recheck. If the indicator still reads low after two full cycles, measure open-circuit voltage at the contacts — a healthy 9.6V Ni-MH pack should read 10.4–10.8V fully charged and rested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426358001754,"sku":"BWCS-HTP200TW-1","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426358034522,"sku":"BWCS-HTP200TW-2","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426358067290,"sku":"BWCS-HTP200TW-3","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-HTP200TW-1.webp?v=1779930365","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bullard-commander-mx-replacement-battery-96v-1800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
