It replaces OEM part numbers BP5615 and BP5615MH. The pack fits the original battery bay and connector without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePL2215 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The PL2215 runs a 7.2V Ni-MH chemistry with a specific cell arrangement and connector pinout. This pack matches that voltage rail and physical form factor, so the radio's battery contacts engage correctly and the charging circuit sees the expected pack signature.\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 bench, including sustained PTT bursts. The BMS held stable under the current spike at key-up and recovered voltage cleanly between transmissions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use contact check:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the charger dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack and wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth before reseating. The PL2215 dock requires a clean contact cycle to accept the new pack's BMS handshake before the charge cycle can begin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePL2215 bar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected on a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNew Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage, typically 1.2–1.25V per cell rather than the fully charged 1.4V. The PL2215's voltage-threshold bar indicator reads this as a partially depleted pack. Run a full charge cycle before the first use and the indicator will step up to its correct reading. This is a cell voltage condition, not a fault with the pack or the radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePL2215 cuts out mid-transmission on a new BP5615 pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003ePressing PTT on the PL2215 draws a sharp current spike as the RF output stage powers up. If the cell voltage sags below the BMS cutoff threshold during that spike, the pack trips out and the radio loses power mid-transmission. This happens most often when the pack has not completed its first full charge and cell voltage is still low. Charge the pack fully, confirm resting voltage is at or above 8.4V before use, and the BMS will hold stable through the transmit surge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426356461658,"sku":"BWCS-KNB140TW-1","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426356494426,"sku":"BWCS-KNB140TW-2","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426356527194,"sku":"BWCS-KNB140TW-3","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-KNB140TW-1.webp?v=1779930808","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/midland-pl2215-replacement-battery-72v-2000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
