Fits Icom IC-A14, IC-A14S, IC-F14, IC-F14S and replaces BP-230, BP-230N, BP-231, BP-231N, BP-232, BP-232N, BP-232H, BJ-2000, BP-232WP battery packs.
Delivers 7.4V at 2600mAh capacity — supplies full transmit power on sustained RF output without voltage sag across extended flight operations.
Connector slides into the radio's battery slot with a single locking tab; gold contact strip aligns flush with the radio's spring terminals.
We bench tested this cell in an IC-F14 transceiver at full PTT load — BMS accepted the dock handshake within two insertion cycles and held voltage steady under RF draw.
On first charge in an Icom dock, if the charger shows a fault LED, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly — the Icom platform requires a clean contact cycle to accept the new BMS handshake before charging begins.

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, 2600mAh Li-ion battery pack for the Icom IC-A14, IC-A14S, IC-F14, IC-F14S, and over 100 compatible Icom handheld transceivers. It replaces OEM part numbers BP-230, BP-230N, BP-231, BP-231N, BP-232, BP-232N, BP-232H, BJ-2000, and BP-232WP. The pack fits directly into Icom's standard battery bay and connects via the same multi-pin contact strip used across the BP-230 family.

  • IC-A14 and IC-F14 platform fit: Icom built the IC-A14 aviation radio and the IC-F14 land mobile series around the same 7.4V battery bay, contact layout, and BMS handshake protocol — so one pack covers both lines without modification.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through transmit-cycle testing on the IC-F14 platform. The BMS held voltage steady through repeated PTT events, and the charger dock accepted the BMS handshake without a fault LED on first insertion.
  • First-insertion contact cycle: If the charger dock shows a fault LED on initial seating, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The Icom dock requires a clean contact surface to complete the BMS handshake before it begins the charge cycle.

Why the IC-A14 drops TX power mid-transmission on a new BP-230 replacement

A new cell ships at storage voltage — typically around 3.7V per cell, not the 4.2V per cell seen after a full charge. Under the sustained RF output of a VHF transmission, the IC-A14 draws peak current that causes the pack to sag below the radio's TX power threshold before it sees a true low-battery condition. The radio interprets this voltage sag as insufficient headroom and steps down transmit power to protect the circuit. A full charge cycle before first use brings both cells to 4.2V and eliminates this sag behaviour entirely.

Bar indicator reading one fewer bar than expected after inserting a fully charged pack

The IC-A14 and IC-F14 use a voltage-threshold bar indicator — each bar corresponds to a voltage band, not a tracked charge percentage. A new pack that was charged in a different dock may have a slightly lower resting voltage due to surface charge settling, which pushes the reading into the next band down. Let the radio sit powered on for two to three minutes without transmitting; the resting voltage stabilises and the bar indicator corrects itself. If the indicator still reads low after settling, confirm pack voltage directly — a fully charged 7.4V Li-ion pack should measure between 8.2V and 8.4V at rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

My IC-A14 cuts out completely the moment I press PTT — the radio just shuts off mid-transmission. Is the battery faulty?

This is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a failed cell. When PTT is pressed, the IC-A14 pulls a sharp current spike for the VHF transmit stage — if the pack shipped at storage voltage rather than a full charge, that spike pushes instantaneous current above the BMS cutoff threshold and the pack disconnects to protect the cells. Charge the battery fully before use; a pack at 8.2V–8.4V resting voltage has enough headroom to absorb the transmit surge without tripping the BMS. If the cutout persists after a complete charge cycle, check that the contact strip is clean and seated flush in the radio's battery bay.

The charger dock keeps flashing a fault LED and never starts charging — I've tried reinserting the battery multiple times.

A fault LED that won't clear usually means the dock detected a pack voltage below its acceptance threshold — common after extended storage. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat it firmly to ensure the BMS handshake completes on the first contact cycle. If the dock still rejects the pack, measure the pack voltage with a multimeter; a Li-ion 7.4V pack below approximately 6.0V may need a recovery charge using a compatible external charger set to Li-ion recovery mode before the dock will accept it. Once the pack recovers above that threshold, the Icom dock should recognise it and begin a normal charge cycle.

After a few months sitting unused, my replacement BP-230 pack won't hold a charge for anywhere near as long as it did when new — what happened?

Li-ion cells self-discharge during storage at roughly 1–3% per month, but the larger issue is that cells left near or below 3.0V per cell for extended periods suffer capacity loss that does not fully reverse on recharge. If the pack sat discharged for several months, some of that capacity fade is permanent. To slow this on future packs, store them at approximately 50% charge — around 7.6V for a 7.4V two-cell pack — rather than fully charged or fully depleted. A pack stored correctly between
