Batteries
A spare battery covers the back half of a long shift and keeps a 24-hour operation on the air. Lithium-ion packs last longest if you avoid leaving them fully flat for long periods and keep them out of extreme heat.
Batteries are specific to each radio, so match the pack to your model; smart batteries also report their health. Browse two way radios or all radio accessories.
Radio battery FAQs
How long should a radio battery last?
A healthy lithium-ion pack covers a normal shift, and high-capacity packs on current models run up to around 24 hours. Expect capacity to fall gradually over a few years of daily cycling.
Can I use a battery from another model?
No. Packs are specific to the radio — the contacts, capacity and fit all differ. Match the pack to your exact model.
How do I make batteries last longer?
Avoid leaving packs fully flat for long stretches and keep them out of extreme heat. Rotating a spare set also stops any one pack taking every cycle.
What is a smart battery?
One that reports its own health to a compatible charger, so you can replace a tired pack on a planned basis instead of when it fails on shift.
