It replaces OEM part numbers BLN-4 and BLN-4D. The cell dimensions match the original pack at 72.00 × 33.00 × 15.25mm, so it seats correctly in the battery bay without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHR850 and THR880 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same battery bay dimensions, contact layout, and BMS handshake protocol — which is why one pack covers the full THR8xx line. The BLN-4 connector and pin assignment are identical across all listed variants, including the THR880i Light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack under simulated PTT load on the THR880 platform. The BMS held the output rail steady through repeated transmit spikes and tripped correctly on overcurrent — no false lockouts recorded during discharge testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion into the charger dock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the dock shows a fault LED on the first seating, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The THR850\/880 charging platform requires a clean contact cycle to complete the BMS handshake before it will begin charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the THR850 cuts out mid-transmission on a freshly inserted BLN-4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new BLN-4 ships at storage voltage — typically around 3.6V, not the 3.7V nominal. When PTT is pressed, the transmit current draw spikes sharply, and the BMS may interpret that voltage dip as an undervoltage condition and cut output. This is not a faulty pack. Run one full charge cycle through the dock before putting the radio into service. After a complete charge, the cell stabilises and the BMS handles transmit spikes without tripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting a new BLN-4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe THR850 and THR880 use a simple voltage-threshold bar indicator — not a chip that tracks charge history. A new cell at storage voltage reads lower than a fully charged pack, so the radio displays one fewer bar. This is a voltage reading, not a capacity fault. Charge the pack fully before reading the indicator — at 4.2V the display will show the correct bar count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426373173338,"sku":"BWCS-NKN4SL-1","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426373206106,"sku":"BWCS-NKN4SL-2","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426373238874,"sku":"BWCS-NKN4SL-3","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NKN4SL-1.webp?v=1779931026","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/eads-thr850-replacement-battery-37v-2000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
