Icom BJ-193 Replacement Battery 7.2V 1800mAh Li-ion

Up to 20% off
New arrival
From $46.99 USD $57.99
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Fits Icom IC-E85, IC-F50, IC-F51, and replaces OEM part BJ-193, BJ-265, BP-220, BP-226, BP-227, BP-227Li, BP-227UL, BP-274.
7.2V lithium-ion at 1800mAh delivers 12.96Wh — enough capacity for full-shift portable work on VHF/UHF without mid-operation swaps.
Gold contact strip mates flush to the radio's dock; locking tab seats firmly into the battery slot with a quarter-turn engagement.
We bench-tested the BMS under sustained transmit load; the cell held voltage curve flat across RF pulses with no early cutoff.
If the charger dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the battery, wipe the gold contacts clean with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly — the Icom platform requires contact continuity to accept the new BMS handshake.

It took a bit longer than expected, likely due to the holiday season, but that was understandable. So far, the battery seems to be working well!

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-E85 / IC-F50 Series — 7.2V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BP-227Li)

This 7.2V 1800mAh lithium-ion battery replaces the BP-227Li and related OEM packs across the Icom IC-E85, IC-F50, IC-F51, and fourteen additional compatible handhelds. It slots into the standard Icom battery bay and connects via the same gold contact strip as the original. Voltage and cell count match the OEM spec exactly.

  • IC-E85 / IC-F50 platform fit: These handhelds share a common battery bay geometry, contact layout, and BMS handshake protocol. One pack covers the full series because Icom standardised the connector and voltage rail across this product generation.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through transmit-cycle loads on the IC-F50 platform. The BMS handled repeated PTT current spikes without tripping, and the dock accepted the charge handshake on first insertion after a contact wipe.
  • 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 charging begins.

Why the IC-E85 cuts out mid-transmission on a new BP-227Li pack

New lithium-ion cells ship at storage voltage — typically 3.6–3.7V per cell — not at full charge. When you key up on the IC-E85, transmit current can hit 1.5A or higher. If the pack hasn't completed a full charge cycle first, that draw can push cell voltage below the BMS undervoltage threshold and trigger a protective cutoff. The radio goes silent, but the pack is not faulty. Charge the battery fully before first transmit use to bring cells to 4.1–4.2V per cell and prevent BMS cutoff under TX load.

Bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting this pack

The IC-E85 uses a voltage-threshold bar indicator — it reads pack voltage and maps it to a bar count. A new pack at storage voltage will sit at roughly 7.2–7.4V total, which the radio reads as mid-charge rather than full. This is not a capacity fault or a cell mismatch. Run one full charge cycle in the Icom dock until the charge LED goes green, then reinsert the pack. The bar indicator will reflect the correct fully charged voltage of approximately 8.2–8.4V.

Frequently Asked Questions

My IC-E85 drops to low transmit power partway through a long shift — is the pack failing?

This is voltage sag under sustained RF output, not cell failure. During extended transmit cycles, internal cell impedance causes voltage to dip; the radio's protection circuit responds by reducing TX power to stay within operating limits. On the bench, we saw this behaviour most often when packs had not completed a full initial charge. Charge the pack to 100% in the Icom dock and confirm the charge LED reaches green before use — that brings resting voltage to approximately 8.2V and gives the most headroom under load.

The charger dock fault LED never clears after I insert this replacement pack — what's happening?

The dock is rejecting the pack because cell voltage is below the dock's acceptance threshold, which on Icom chargers sits around 6V minimum. New packs at storage voltage sometimes fall below this floor after extended shelf time. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contacts with a dry cloth, reseat firmly, and wait 60 seconds — some Icom docks require a clean contact cycle to re-poll the pack. If the fault LED persists, the cells need a recovery charge; use a compatible Icom rapid charger rather than the desktop dock, as rapid chargers typically have a lower acceptance threshold.

The radio powers on fine but the pack drains noticeably faster after sitting unused for several weeks — is something wrong?

Lithium-ion cells self-discharge at roughly 1–2% per month under normal storage, but a pack left unused at full charge for an extended period can experience accelerated capacity fade due to elevated cell voltage stress. This is expected cell behaviour, not a defective pack. If the pack sat in storage for more than three months, run two full charge-discharge cycles through the Icom dock to allow the BMS to recalibrate its cutoff thresholds and recover usable capacity. Resting voltage after a full charge should read approximately 8.2–8.4V across the pack terminals.
