It fits the PT580 and PT580H portable two-way radios. Voltage and cell count match the original pack exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePT580 and PT580H compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models share the same battery bay geometry, contact rail, and 7.4V two-cell Li-ion architecture. The BMS handshake voltage threshold is identical across the pair, so one pack covers both variants 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 PTT transmit bursts on the PT580 platform and monitored BMS response. The protection circuit held stable through repeated high-current transmit events without triggering an overcurrent cutoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion into the charger dock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the dock LED flashes fault on first seating, remove the pack and wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth before reseating. The PT580 dock requires a clean contact cycle to register the new BMS and begin the charge sequence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the PT580 cuts out mid-transmission on a fresh BL1806\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe PT580 draws a sharp current spike the moment PTT is pressed — transmit current can briefly exceed 1.5A on the BL1806's protection circuit threshold. A new cell shipped at storage voltage (typically 3.6–3.7V per cell) has a higher internal impedance than a fully charged cell, which amplifies the voltage sag under that spike. If the BMS reads the sag as a fault condition, it trips the output and the radio cuts out. Charge the pack fully to 8.4V before the first field use to bring cell impedance down to operating levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe PT580 uses voltage-threshold steps to drive the bar display — each bar maps to a voltage band, not a fuel gauge reading. A new pack at storage voltage sits at roughly 7.2–7.4V, which places it in the second or third bar band even though the cells are not depleted. This is normal behaviour for a cell that has not yet been fully charged. Run a full charge cycle first; once the pack reaches 8.4V, the bar indicator will reflect actual capacity correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426314190938,"sku":"BWCS-HTC807TW-1","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426314223706,"sku":"BWCS-HTC807TW-2","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426314256474,"sku":"BWCS-HTC807TW-3","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-HTC807TW-1.webp?v=1779930633","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/hyt-pt580-replacement-battery-74v-2500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
