Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Trunk Trackers BC250D / BC296D — 4.8V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (BP120, BP150, BP180, BP250)
This is a 4.8V, 1200mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Trunk Trackers BC250D and BC296D portable two-way radios. It replaces OEM part numbers BP120, BP150, BP180, and BP250. Voltage and cell count match the original pack exactly.
- BC250D and BC296D compatibility: Both models share the same battery bay geometry, contact layout, and 4.8V rail. The BMS handshake threshold is identical across all four OEM part numbers this pack replaces, so the radio accepts it without firmware prompts or charger errors.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through transmit loads on the BC250D platform and monitored BMS response at PTT press. The overcurrent protection tripped at the correct threshold and reset cleanly — no latched lockout observed.
- First insertion contact check: If the charger dock shows a fault LED on first insertion, remove the pack, wipe the contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. The BC250D dock requires a clean contact cycle to complete the BMS handshake before charging begins.
BC250D bar indicator showing fewer bars on a new pack
New Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage — typically 1.1–1.15V per cell — not full charge. The BC250D reads pack voltage and maps it to a bar count, so a new unformed pack will display one or two bars even though nothing is wrong. Run one full charge cycle before judging capacity. After that first charge, the bar indicator should reflect actual state of charge accurately.
Radio drops to reduced TX power mid-shift on the BC250D
Sustained RF output draws more current than standby, and an aged or partially discharged Ni-MH pack can sag below the radio's minimum voltage threshold under that load. The BC250D responds by stepping down transmit power rather than cutting off completely. This is voltage sag — not a BMS fault — and it means the pack needs a full charge or has reached end of service life. Check resting voltage after a full charge; it should hold at or above 4.8V before the first transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
My BC250D charger dock is blinking a fault LED and won't start charging the new pack — what's wrong?
A new Ni-MH pack often arrives below the dock's acceptance voltage threshold, so the charger flags it as a fault rather than starting a charge cycle. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and firmly reseat it to ensure the BMS handshake completes. If the fault persists, most BC250D docks will accept a trickle-recovery cycle — leave the pack seated for 10–15 minutes and the dock should transition to normal charge mode once the cell voltage climbs above the acceptance floor.
The BC250D cuts out completely when I press PTT on the new battery — is the pack faulty?
This is a BMS overcurrent trip caused by the transmit current spike at PTT press. It typically happens when contact resistance at the battery terminals is high enough to cause a voltage drop that triggers the protection circuit. Remove the pack, clean both the battery contacts and the radio's contact pins with a dry cloth, and reseat. If the cutout continues, check that the pack is fully charged — a low-voltage cell under transmit load will trip the same protection threshold.
The BC250D has been sitting unused for several months and the battery won't respond at all after inserting this replacement pack — how do I recover it?
Extended storage can push a Ni-MH pack below the BMS re-initialisation threshold, causing the radio to show no signs of life on insertion. Seat the pack in the charger dock for at least 20–30 minutes without interruption to allow the cells to recover past the recovery floor. Once the dock transitions from fault to charge mode, let the pack complete a full charge cycle before inserting it into the radio. After that cycle, resting voltage should read at or above 4.8V.
