BP-170L : 6xAA case for ICOM HT radios (fits IC-T7/H, IC-W32A, IC-T42A, etc).

The BP-170L is a 6 x AA battery case for ICOM IC-W32A/E, IC-W31A/E, IC-T7A/E/H, IC-Z1A, IC-T22A/E, etc.  Replaces original BP-170, but has added benefit of increased Wattage for TX.  Case extends down below the radio about 1".

Part # BP-170L (also known as BP-170h). Holds 6 x AA cells (Alkaline, or NiCd, or NiMH) for higher-Watt TX capability. Exclusive item !  (IMPORTANT: case contacts are purposely designed to protect the batteries used inside  If Alkaline cells are used, you get 9V of wattage, and they CANNOT be accidently recharged while the case is on the radio.

If you use NiCd or NiMH batteries in the case, you will typically need to remove the cells to recharge them.
