usbroway 1600mAh Ni-MH Battery for Icom BP-8 Two-Way Radio

SKU CH-2N5Z-BS6AX

Ni-MH replacement battery delivers 1600mAh at 8.4V for compatible Icom two-way radios

  • TypeTwo-way Radio
  • 1600mAh capacity extends talk time on compatible Icom radios
  • 4V Ni-MH chemistry matches original voltage requirements
  • High-efficiency design delivers reliable power for marine use
  • Works with lower-capacity BP-8 variants without modification
  • Includes HQRP coaster for convenient charging and storage

Replacement Ni-MH battery for Icom radios

This 1600mAh Ni-MH pack replaces the Icom BP-8 and fits a wide range of handheld transceivers including the IC-02AT, IC-03AT, IC-2GAT, IC-4GAT, IC-M2, IC-M5, IC-M11, IC-M12, IC-U2, IC-U12, IC-U16 and IC-12GAT models. It delivers 8.4 volts and is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for original batteries of smaller capacity.

Coaster charger included for bench charging

The package supplies an HQRP coaster charger so the pack can be topped up outside the radio, which is useful for operators who keep a spare cell on the desk or in a vehicle. Ni-MH chemistry provides reliable cycle life without the memory effect associated with older nickel-cadmium cells, and the construction is rated for high efficiency in daily marine or land-mobile use.

Upgrade from lower-capacity BP-8 packs

Users moving from the standard BP-8 or compatible BP-5A, BP-7, BP-7H, BP-8H, BP-83 and BP-96 cells gain extra talk time per charge without changing radios or chargers. The jump is worth it for shifts that exceed a single day of typical transmit-receive cycles, while operators who only need a few hours of use may not notice the difference.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the 8.4 V Ni-MH pack deliver to the radio?

The battery supplies a nominal 8.4 V, matching the original BP-8 specification for all listed Icom handhelds.

Which battery compartments does the replacement pack fit?

It fits the same slot as the BP-8, BP-7, BP-7H, BP-8H, BP-5A, BP-83, BP-96 and CM-7 series packs.

How do you install the pack, and what step is often missed?

Slide the pack into the radio until the latch clicks, then charge fully before first use; skipping the initial charge reduces runtime.
