The Icom BP-252 is a high-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack manufactured by Icom Inc. in Japan. Designed for daily operational use with Icom handheld marine transceivers (such as the IC-GM1600E GMDSS handheld and standard VHF marine models), the BP-252 provides reliable, long-lasting power for routine bridge communications, port operations, and crew coordination.

Featuring advanced Li-Ion chemistry, the battery pack offers high energy density without memory effect, allowing frequent top-up charging without degrading overall capacity. It is equipped with an integrated waterproof sealing gasket at its base to maintain the radio’s IPX7 submersibility rating during wet-weather deck use.

Key Features:
• Rechargeable Li-Ion Chemistry: Lightweight, high-capacity cell structure providing extended operational hours without memory degradation.
• Daily Operational Power: Engineered for routine shipboard use, preserving primary emergency lithium packs (like the BP-234) exclusively for distress scenarios.
• Integrated Waterproof Gasket: Precision-molded sealing ring at the base maintains the radio housing’s IPX7 water-immersion integrity.
• Over-Discharge Protection: Built-in safety circuitry protects against short circuits, overcharging, and thermal overload.
