It uses the OEM part number PB-G8 and fits directly into the original battery compartment. These radios draw from a 4-cell Ni-MH pack, and this unit matches that configuration exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eG6 \/ G8 \/ M24 \/ M48 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 4.8V Ni-MH cell arrangement, connector pinout, and physical footprint. One battery spec covers the full group — no adapter or modification required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through full charge and transmit-load conditions. The BMS responded correctly to PTT current spikes, with no false cutoff during sustained transmit bursts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion after storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Ni-MH cells ship at partial charge. Insert the pack and charge fully before the first use in the field — voltage may read low on the radio's bar indicator until the first complete charge cycle tops the cells to their rated 4.8V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the G6 drops to reduced TX power mid-shift on a new PB-G8\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells leaving storage sit at roughly 1.0–1.1V per cell, which puts this 4-cell pack below 4.4V total. The G6 interprets that as a weak pack and throttles transmit power before the battery has had a chance to fully recover. This is not a defective battery — it is a voltage threshold response built into the radio firmware. A full charge cycle brings each cell back to approximately 1.2V nominal, and TX power returns to normal output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator stuck on one bar after inserting a new PB-G8\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe G6 and G8 use a simple voltage-threshold bar display — not a capacity-counting circuit. A new pack at storage voltage reads low enough to trigger the one-bar warning even though the cells are not depleted. Place the battery in the charger immediately after first insertion and run a complete charge. Once the pack reaches 4.8V, the bar indicator will step up to reflect the actual cell state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426369011802,"sku":"BWCS-MIM99TW-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426369044570,"sku":"BWCS-MIM99TW-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426369077338,"sku":"BWCS-MIM99TW-3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MIM99TW-1.webp?v=1779931027","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/midland-g6-replacement-battery-48v-700mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
