It slots into the LT-3268 battery compartment and connects to the radio's existing power rails. Voltage and chemistry match the original pack exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLT-3268 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The LT-3268 runs a 7.4V dual-cell Li-ion architecture. This pack matches that voltage rail and uses the same connector footprint, so the radio's power management circuit sees no difference at startup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack under simulated push-to-talk loads. The BMS held the output rail steady through repeated transmit spikes and engaged the overcurrent cutoff at the expected threshold before resetting cleanly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-insertion contact check:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the charger shows a fault LED on first insertion, pull the battery out, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat it firmly. The LT-3268 charger dock requires a clean contact cycle to complete the BMS handshake before it begins charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLT-3268 cutting out mid-transmission on a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new Li-ion cell ships at storage voltage — typically 3.6–3.7V per cell, not a full 4.2V. When the LT-3268 keys up to transmit, the current draw spikes sharply. At storage voltage, internal impedance is higher, and that spike can drag the pack voltage low enough to trigger the BMS overcurrent cutoff. The radio drops out, then recovers seconds later. Run one full charge cycle before your first shift and the cutoff threshold becomes easy to clear under normal TX load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting this pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe LT-3268 reads battery level using simple voltage thresholds — it has no fuel gauge chip. A new pack at storage voltage sits in the lower threshold band, so the radio displays one bar even though the cell is not depleted. This is not a faulty pack. Charge the battery fully to 8.4V across the pack before use and the indicator will step up to the correct bar count on next power-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426308391002,"sku":"BWCS-PUX328TW-1","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426308423770,"sku":"BWCS-PUX328TW-2","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426308456538,"sku":"BWCS-PUX328TW-3","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PUX328TW-1.webp?v=1779930681","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/luiton-lt-3268-replacement-battery-74v-1200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
