It replaces OEM part numbers PB200, PB400, and PB-CT. The pack slots into the standard battery bay and mates with the existing charger dock contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCT200 \/ CT400 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The CT200, CT210, CT400, and CT410 share the same 7.4V battery bay geometry, contact pin layout, and BMS handshake protocol — one pack covers the entire family without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through transmit loads on the CT400 platform and confirmed the BMS handled the PTT current spike without tripping. Voltage held above 7.0V through sustained TX bursts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-insertion contact check:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the charger dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly — the CT-series dock requires a clean contact cycle to accept the new BMS handshake before charging begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the CT200 drops to reduced TX power mid-shift on a fresh pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new cell ships at storage voltage — typically 3.6–3.7V per cell, giving around 7.2–7.4V total. Under sustained RF output, the CT200's transmit circuit draws a short high-current burst on each PTT press. If the cell hasn't been through at least one full charge cycle, internal impedance is slightly elevated, and voltage sags enough to trigger the radio's low-voltage TX power reduction circuit. Run one full charge before putting the pack into a heavy-use shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator shows one fewer bar than expected after installing new PB200\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe CT-series uses a simple voltage-threshold bar indicator — each bar maps to a fixed voltage band. A new pack at storage voltage reads as partially depleted because it hasn't reached its fully charged resting voltage of approximately 8.4V. This is not a fault with the pack or the radio. Charge the battery fully in the dock until the indicator goes solid green, then reinsert — the display will show a full bar reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426311602266,"sku":"BWCS-PUX328TW-1","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426311635034,"sku":"BWCS-PUX328TW-2","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426311667802,"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\/midland-ct200-replacement-battery-74v-1200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
