It replaces OEM part PB-G8 and fits directly into the same battery compartment as the original pack. Voltage, connector, and cell count match the factory specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReer 5006, 5005, and Scopi compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 4.8V four-cell Ni-MH architecture and PB-G8 footprint. The connector pinout and physical dimensions are identical across the 5005 and 5006 Scopi variants, so one pack covers the full range 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 full charge and discharge on the 5006 platform. The radio accepted the BMS handshake on the charger dock without a fault LED, and transmit current draw stayed within the expected threshold during PTT hold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use contact check on the Scopi dock:\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 Scopi dock requires a clean contact cycle to register a new pack 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 Reer 5006 cuts out mid-transmission on a freshly inserted pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells ship at storage voltage, typically around 1.1V per cell — well below the 1.2V nominal per cell the radio expects under transmit load. When PTT is pressed, the sudden current spike from the RF stage pulls cell voltage down further. The radio's low-voltage protection circuit reads this as a depleted pack and cuts transmit output. A full charge cycle before first use brings each cell above 1.25V and resolves this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing one fewer bar than expected after fitting a new PB-G8\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Reer 5006 uses a simple voltage-threshold bar indicator — it reads resting cell voltage and maps it to bars on screen. A new pack at storage voltage sits below the threshold for the top bar, so the display reads low even though the pack is not faulty. Charge the pack fully in the dock until the charge LED goes green, then reinsert. Resting voltage should return to approximately 5.4–5.6V and the indicator will reflect the correct charge state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426368847962,"sku":"BWCS-MIM99TW-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426368880730,"sku":"BWCS-MIM99TW-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426368913498,"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\/reer-5006-replacement-battery-48v-700mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
