Modular and Scalable Power Management Solution The Icom BC226 is an innovative, connectable rapid charger designed to provide a flexible and scalable power management solution for professional radio fleets. Unlike traditional fixed multi-unit chargers, the Icom BC226 features a modular "daisy-chain" design that allows users to link up to six individual charging pods together into a single, sturdy multi-charger station. This versatility makes it the ideal choice for growing organizations, allowing you to start with a single unit and expand your charging capacity as your radio fleet increases. Engineered for efficiency, the Icom BC226 delivers a high-speed charge to high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery packs, including the BP283, BP284, BP290, BP294, and BP303. Each pod is equipped with a clear LED charge indicator to provide real-time status updates at a glance. By simply sliding off the side panels and slotting the units together via integrated pin connectors, you can create a streamlined charging hub that reduces cable clutter and optimizes your workspace. Key Features & Benefits Scalable Modular Design: Connect up to six BC226 pods together to create a custom 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6-way multi-charger.

Smart LED Indicators: Features a dedicated LED system that provides immediate visual confirmation of the charging status for each battery.

Each pod features removable side panels and internal pin connectors. You simply slide the sides off and slot the chargers together to create a secure, electrical connection across the chain. Can I charge different battery models simultaneously? Yes. As long as the batteries are from the compatible list (BP283, BP284, BP290, BP294, BP303), you can charge mixed packs in the same connected chain. Warranty 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Show more
