Battery Care Tips
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
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-A6 / IC-A24 Series — 7.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (BP-209N / BP-210N)
This is a 7.2V, 2500mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Icom IC-A6, IC-A6E, IC-A24, IC-A24E, and over 30 additional Icom handheld aviation transceivers. It replaces OEM part numbers BP-209, BP-209N, BP-210, BP-210N, BP-222, and BP-222N. The pack slots into the original battery bay and connects via the same multi-pin contact strip as the factory unit.
- IC-A6 / IC-A24 platform fit: These models share a common 7.2V two-cell Ni-MH architecture with the same contact pin layout and BMS handshake protocol. That is why one pack covers the full BP-209 and BP-210 replacement family without adapter or modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack in an IC-A24E dock and under a PTT transmit load. The BMS held voltage above the 6.0V cutoff threshold through repeated transmission cycles, and the charger dock advanced to charge status without manual reset.
- First-cycle contact seating on Icom docks: If the dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. Icom charging docks require a clean contact cycle to recognise a new pack's BMS handshake before charging begins.
Why the IC-A6 cuts out mid-transmission on a fresh Ni-MH pack
Ni-MH cells leave storage at roughly 60–70% of rated voltage. When PTT is pressed, transmit current spikes sharply and the BMS sees a voltage drop it reads as an overcurrent event, tripping the protection circuit before the pack has been properly conditioned. Running two or three full charge-discharge cycles through the Icom BC-144 or BC-191 dock brings cell voltage up to the 8.4–8.5V fully charged threshold and stabilises internal impedance. After conditioning, the pack sustains the transmit current spike without triggering a BMS cutoff.
Bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after a full charge
Icom aviation handhelds use a simple voltage-threshold bar display, not a fuel gauge chip. A new Ni-MH pack that has not been through a conditioning cycle sits below the top voltage threshold the radio expects at 100%, so it displays one bar short even when the dock shows green. This is a voltage-reading artefact, not a capacity fault. Charge the pack fully, allow it to rest for 15 minutes off the dock, then power on the radio — cell voltage will have settled and the bar indicator will read correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
My IC-A24 cuts out the moment I press PTT — is the new battery faulty?
It is not faulty. Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage, and the transmit current spike when PTT is pressed causes the BMS to trip before the pack is conditioned. Run two full charge-discharge cycles through your Icom BC-144 or BC-191 dock. After conditioning, cell impedance drops and the pack handles the transmit current without dropping out.
The Icom dock is blinking a fault LED and won't start charging the new pack — what's wrong?
The dock is failing to complete its BMS handshake because the contact strip on the new pack hasn't seated cleanly. Remove the battery, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth to clear any residue or oxidation, and reseat it firmly until it clicks. If the fault LED persists, check that the pack's cell voltage is above 5.0V with a multimeter — a pack that has been in extended storage and dropped below the dock's acceptance threshold will need a trickle-charge boost before the dock recognises it.
The radio drops to noticeably weaker TX output during long shifts — new pack, same problem as the old one
Sustained RF output under repeated PTT cycles draws enough current to cause voltage sag in a Ni-MH pack that hasn't been fully conditioned or that has accumulated shallow-cycle degradation. Shallow cycling — topping up before the pack is meaningfully discharged — causes Ni-MH cells to develop a memory effect that compresses the usable voltage range. To reset this, run a deliberate full discharge by transmitting until the radio shuts off on low voltage, then charge fully to 8.4–8.5V before returning to service.
