It replaces OEM part APX1105 directly, using the same connector and contact arrangement as the original. Capacity is rated at 18Wh — sourced from the same specification as the factory pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePC200 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The PC200 uses a fixed 7.2V rail with a specific contact layout and BMS handshake sequence. This pack matches that voltage rail and connector geometry, so the radio's power management accepts it without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through transmit loads replicating PTT burst patterns. The BMS held stable across repeated high-draw spikes and did not trip into overcurrent cutoff under normal keying cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle contact seating on the PC200:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the charger shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack and wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth. Reseat firmly — the PC200 charger dock requires a clean contact cycle to complete the initial BMS handshake 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 PC200 cuts out mid-transmission on a new APX1105 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 — not at full charge. Under transmit load, the PC200 draws a sharp current spike the moment PTT is pressed. A pack at storage voltage can't sustain that spike, so the BMS trips overcurrent cutoff and the radio drops. This is not a faulty battery. Run one full charge cycle before the first shift, and the pack will handle transmit loads without tripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePC200 bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe PC200 uses a simple voltage-threshold bar indicator — it reads cell voltage directly and maps it to bars. A new Ni-MH pack fresh off the charger sits at a surface charge voltage that dips slightly once current flows, which the radio reads as one bar below full. This is a voltage settling effect, not a capacity problem. Let the pack discharge and recharge once; resting voltage will stabilise and the indicator will read correctly at around 8.4–8.5V off charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426345975898,"sku":"BWCS-UPS802TW-1","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426346008666,"sku":"BWCS-UPS802TW-2","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426346041434,"sku":"BWCS-UPS802TW-3","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-UPS802TW_1.webp?v=1779930784","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ericsson-pc200-replacement-battery-72v-2500mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
