Replacement Ni-MH Pack for Uniden Scanners
This two-pack of 4.8V 2200mAh Ni-MH cells replaces the original BP-250 battery used in a wide range of Uniden Bearcat and Sportcat handheld scanners. It fits models across the 120, 180, 220, 230, 235, 245, 246, 250 and 296 series as well as the SC-140, SC-150, SC-160 and SC-180 families. The pack also covers RadioShack 20-520 and PRO-90 units.
Upgrade from Lower-Capacity Packs
The 2200mAh rating exceeds the capacity of the older BP-120, BP-150 and BP-180 packs that shipped with many of these scanners. The jump is worth it when you need longer monitoring sessions between charges, especially during extended events or travel. The manufacturer rates the cells for up to 1200 charge cycles thanks to a mix-protection additive that slows cathode degradation.
Simple Drop-In Installation
Each cell uses the same form factor and connector as the factory pack, so installation is a direct swap with no soldering or adapters required. The steel DBCK shell resists deformation from overpressure, reducing the risk of swelling that can jam the battery door. The only common issue is forgetting to fully charge both packs before first use, which can leave the scanner reporting low voltage prematurely.

Questions about this item
What are the exact dimensions of the BP-250 battery pack so I can confirm it fits my scanner's battery compartment?
Each battery measures 3 by 2 by 2 inches, matching the original BP-250 form factor for Uniden Bearcat and Sportcat models listed.
How do I install the replacement cells correctly, and which step do users most often miss?
Insert each pack with the labelled side facing up, matching the polarity icons inside the compartment; the step most often missed is seating the connector tabs fully until they click.
After roughly how many charge cycles should I plan to replace these Ni-MH packs?
The manufacturer rates the cells for up to 1200 cycles before capacity drops noticeably, so replacement timing depends on how often you fully discharge and recharge them.
