LiFePO4 batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that offer several benefits over traditional lead-acid batteries. The main advantage is that their terminal voltage stays above 12V, 90% of the discharge time. They are more efficient as lead acid batteries. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries are safer because they are less likely to overheat or explode as other high energy battery types. They have a significantly longer lifespan compared to other batteries. They can easily last 10 years and still have 80% capacity in a normal ham radio application where a battery is used maybe 20 to 30 times a year for a portable setup. They have a lower environmental impact, as they don’t contain any toxic chemicals like lead or acid. They are lightweight and can operate in any position.
This battery is a custom fit battery for the LAB-599 Discovery Transceiver. It has pogo pin connections to interface direct with the radio. Additionally, you will have 2 pair of PowerPole connectors for accessories or the PA-500. The battery is capable to operate the radio and the amplifier for several hours of fun in the field. The run time depends if you use the combo for voice or digital. Average runtime for voice is about 4 to 6 hours or 2 hours for digital. Pair that with a solar panel for extended run times.
The battery uses a 20A BMS. it also comes with a flexible battery cover to protect the pogo pins if not attached to the radio. The cover also fits over the front plate of the radio to protect it in your go-bag.
