It uses OEM part number CZ088B001 and slots into the same battery bay as the original pack. Capacity is 1800mAh (13.32Wh) — identical to factory spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVZ-D263 \/ VZ-D281 \/ VZ-D288 \/ VZ-20 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 7.4V battery rail, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one pack covers the full range without modification or adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through transmit-cycle loads on the VZ-D288 platform. The BMS held stable through repeated PTT bursts and did not trigger overcurrent cutoff under normal RF output conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion on the charger dock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the dock shows a fault LED on first seat, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The Motorola platform requires a clean contact cycle to complete the 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 VZ-D263 cuts out mid-transmission on a new CZ088B001\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new cell ships at storage voltage — typically 3.7V to 3.8V per cell, not full charge. When you key up and hold PTT, transmit current spikes sharply. At storage voltage, the BMS may interpret that spike as an overcurrent event and cut power to protect the cells. This is not a faulty pack. Run one full charge cycle before putting the radio into active use and the BMS trip threshold will sit well above normal transmit draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe VZ series uses voltage-threshold bar indicators — each bar corresponds to a voltage band, not a fuel-gauge calculation. A new pack at storage voltage lands in a lower band and displays fewer bars even though the cells are not depleted. Charge the pack fully in the dock until the LED goes solid green, then reinsert into the radio. At full charge the resting voltage will read above the threshold for the top bar, and the indicator will reflect actual capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426301870170,"sku":"BWCS-MTD288TW-1","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426301902938,"sku":"BWCS-MTD288TW-2","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426301935706,"sku":"BWCS-MTD288TW-3","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MTD288TW-1.webp?v=1779930602","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/motorola-vz-d263-replacement-battery-74v-1800mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
