Kastar 3-Pack BP-244 Replacement Batteries

This pack contains three lithium-ion cells built to replace the BP-244 pack in a range of handheld radios from Icom, Baofeng, Yaesu, Dynascan, Intek, IWATSU, Maas, SystemGear and Verizon. Each cell delivers 3.7V and 1900mAh for a total energy rating of 7.03Wh. The MX990 model includes built-in protection against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating. It suits operators who need ready spares for field use.

3.7V Lithium-Ion Chemistry Limits

The lithium-ion chemistry provides stable voltage through most of the discharge cycle but will self-discharge during long storage. Cells meet UL1642 and CE safety standards, yet they must be charged only with equipment designed for 3.7V Li-ion packs. Using an incompatible charger or exceeding the specified voltage range can damage the protection circuit and void the safety margin.

1900mAh Capacity and Runtime Headroom

A 1900mAh cell typically powers a compatible handheld through a full shift of moderate transmit and receive cycles. Heavy transmit duty or continuous high-volume audio will drain the pack faster, requiring a swap to one of the other two units in the pack. The triple bundle ensures a charged spare is usually available, but extended multi-day operations without recharging access will still demand an external power source.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the single pack or the 3-pack for my UV-3R?

The 3-pack gives you three 1900mAh cells so you can rotate them during extended field use and always have a spare ready.

What does the 1900mAh rating mean for daily use on my VX-2R?

At 3.7V the cell stores 7.03Wh, which typically powers a VX-2R through a full day of mixed transmit and receive cycles.

Does the BP-244 form factor fit the charger that came with my IC-RX7?

Yes, the battery matches the BP-244 dimensions and contacts, so it seats and charges in the original Icom desktop charger.
