Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Icom IC-A14 / IC-F14 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BP-230, BP-232)

This is a 7.4V, 2500mAh Li-ion battery replacing OEM part numbers BP-230, BP-231, BP-232, and their N, H, and WP variants. It fits the Icom IC-A14 and IC-A14S aircraft band portables, the IC-F14 and IC-F14S land mobile radios, and over 100 additional Icom models sharing the same battery footprint. Capacity is 2500mAh (18.5Wh), matching the standard-series original.

  • IC-A14 / IC-F14 platform fit: These models share a common battery bay geometry, gold contact strip layout, and BMS handshake protocol. The BP-230 through BP-232 family — including the WP waterproof variant — all use the same connector and voltage rail, so one replacement SKU covers the full range.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack on an IC-A14 and IC-F14S dock. The BMS negotiated charge acceptance on first insertion, balancing cells correctly across both radios without triggering a fault LED. Transmit current spikes during PTT held within the BMS overcurrent threshold throughout testing.
  • First-insertion contact cycle on Icom docks: If the dock shows a fault LED on initial seating, remove the battery and wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth before reseating. Icom docks require a clean contact surface to complete the BMS handshake — a single residue-free cycle clears this in most cases.

Why the IC-A14 cuts out mid-transmission on a freshly inserted battery

A new Li-ion pack ships at storage voltage — typically 3.6–3.7V per cell, or around 7.2–7.4V total. When you key up on the IC-A14, transmit current can spike above 1.5A. If the BMS detects that draw against a cell resting below its overcurrent threshold, it trips and drops the output. The radio goes silent mid-PTT, not because the battery is faulty, but because the BMS has not yet seen a full charge cycle to establish its operating baseline. Charge the pack fully before the first transmission-heavy session to push both cells above 4.1V each and clear the trip threshold.

Bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting the new pack

Icom portables use a voltage-threshold bar system — each bar corresponds to a voltage band, not a calculated capacity percentage. A new cell at storage voltage reads roughly 7.2–7.4V, which the IC-A14 maps to one or two bars rather than full. This is not a capacity fault. Put the pack through one complete charge in the Icom dock until the charge LED goes green, then power the radio on — the indicator will reflect the correct resting voltage of approximately 8.3–8.4V and display full bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

My IC-A14 goes silent exactly when I press PTT — new battery, happens every time. What's wrong?

That's a BMS overcurrent trip triggered by the transmit current spike. The pack shipped at storage voltage and the BMS cut output the moment TX draw exceeded its threshold. Charge the battery fully in the Icom dock before keying up — once both cells are above 4.1V each, the BMS handles the PTT spike without tripping.

The dock blinks a fault LED and never starts charging after I inserted the BP-232 replacement. What do I do?

The Icom dock needs a clean contact cycle to complete the BMS handshake — any oxidation or residue on the gold strip blocks it. Remove the battery, wipe the contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. If the LED still blinks, let the pack sit in the dock for 90 seconds after reseating; packs below dock acceptance voltage (~7.0V) need a brief trickle before the dock switches to normal charge mode.

The radio transmits fine for the first hour, then RF output drops noticeably for the rest of the shift. The battery still shows bars. What's happening?

This is voltage sag under sustained RF output — not a dead cell. As the pack discharges, internal resistance rises and the voltage drops just enough under transmit load to push the IC-F14's power amplifier into its reduced-output region. The bar indicator uses resting voltage, so it still reads high between transmissions. Swap to a fully charged pack mid-shift if full TX power is needed throughout, or reduce transmission duty cycle to let the cells recover between overs.
