There are two batteries in an ICOM A20 by Paul from Warrnambool VIC Australia
Pros: Longer life Cons: Does not address the memories 1-16 Review: The battery I ordered works fine. It lasts longer than the old original. My problem is the memories 1-16 are not held. It turns out there is a Panasonic BR2325 (coin size) battery in the guts of the electronics that requires a very fine tipped soldering iron to exchange. Having said this. The new lithium lasts longer.

by GARY from SCHOOLCRAFT MI USA
Pros: It fit my old radio, it is at least 30 years old. Cons: It was a little hard getting on. Review: I was very happy with my recent purchase of the ICOM IC-A20 battery. My radio is very old, and I was afraid that I would not be able to use it due to it's age. The battery fit my radio nicely (a little hard to get on, but hey, it works great).

New life for an old hand-held! by Ulrich from Simpsonville SC USA
Pros: Good replacement for the original; keeps the radio going much longer! Cons: Cannot be charged using the desk-top cradle charger since the contacts are missing. No big deal! Review: This is already my second 1100mAh Ni-MH Battery I am using with my old Icom hand-held radio. Much better service life than the original NiCad pack. It gave my old radio a new lease on life!

I would buy this product again. by Gary from Glendale CA USA
Pros: Works and holds a charge extremely well! Cons: None I have observed. Review: I use this battery to power my Icon handheld air band tranceiver for mundane things like obtaining IFR clearances and ATIS info prior to engine start. However, last week I incurred my first and only comm. failure while airborne. I used my Icom to transmit to ATC for my approach and landing and the radio and especially the battery performed beyond my expectations. In 12 minutes it paid for itself many times over!

Instead of a new radio I got a great battery by Mark from San jose CA USA
Pros: Solid power for an older radio Cons: None that I can think of right now.... Review: I was thinking about replacing my IC-A20 with a newer radio. I also have an IC-A23 that I also bought a battery for. The last time a bought a battery for the A20 the connection was unreliable and the battery didn't last very long. Not this time. The connection is solid and the battery lasts the entire day. Instead of a new radio, I think I breathed some life into my old A20.

by Daniel from Templeton, CA
Review: This battery is a god send. It brought my old Icom A20 out of the closet and back into service after about 10 years of not being able to find a battery. Plus it was fully charged and lasted around 30 hours right out of the box. Slipped on with no issues what so ever just like the original.

by Daniel from Middletown NY USA

Poor Battery Fit by Craig from New Braunfels TX USA

A good replacement battery--well recommended by Thomas from Alert Bay BC Canada
Pros: capacity Cons: too tight a fit Review: This replacement has considerably more capacity than the original. It has a very tight fit which would be welcome if my radio had worn attachment rails. Definitely worth the price.

I would buy this product again by piper140 from Gainesville FL USA
Pros: Works right out of the box, fully charged and ready to go. Cons: NO swap out for old battery. Review: Product was as described, as others had described a little difficult to put on and take off but a little silicone on the tracks took care of that. Holds a charge very well. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because they don't offer a swap of some sort for the old battery.

Service Excellent, Freight Punitive by Terence from Darley VIC Australia
Pros: Comparative price, battery capacity Cons: Freight cost from US to Australia Review: Battery arrived in good time but the freight cost was excessive. The battery required considerable force to slide on the first time but capacity improved over original.

It alive!!! by Ralph from Hato Rey PR USA
Pros: Great replacement. Better that original in charging capacity. Cons: Battery has a slightly different color than the color in my radio Review: I had an Icom-A20 "dead" for about 7 years due to failure of its original battery. Got somewhat of a replacement battery in you know where ...Shack. Never was able to transmit, only hear pilot/tower conversation, even though mah and volts in the replacement claimed to be the same! I purchased your NI-MH battery, came quickly, installed and Walah! It Alive!! My old Icom A-20 is working properly and the battery charge last almost as twice as the original. By the way, I save some bucks since I did not have to by a new radio.

Nice by Mark from Billings MT USA
Pros: Great to use my old radio Cons: None Review: My dad bought me the IC-A20 17 years ago when I soloed my Gyrocopter. This radio means so much to me and at one time, there were no replacement batteries for this radio. I can now use this radio and think of the great times in the gyro. Thanks mypilotstore.

Pros: service was great and price was fair Cons: had a major amount of difficulty in installing it in my handheld Review: The replacement battery was received right on time. however it did not fit the handheld without a mjaor amount of puushing it into the unit.

Perfect Fit - Great upgrade to old technology by Paul from Clarks Summit PA USA

Saturday, July 11, 2009
Just as advertised by Jeffrey from Granada Hills CA USA
Pros: It works just as advertised. Cons: None Review: This battery is just like the original that came with the radio and performs in an identical manner. It even came fully charged so I could use it immediately. My Icom A-21 was used twice over the years in real emergencies when my C-172 lost all electrical power in flight. I would be lost with the portable radio and the new battery put it back on the map as a serious radio back up.

Good battery for the price. by David from Lincoln VT USA
Pros: More capacity, no memory effect that Ni Cad has Cons: Silghtly off color in apparance. Review: This battery has more capacity with newer technology than the origional one. The color is slightly off and does not match the radio exactly. Not a big issue. It fit the radio snugly, but not a problem. It does not have the memory effect that the old Ni Cad battery had.

SHAZAM! by A Customer from Bolingbrook IL USA
Pros: long life Cons: none Review: Inherited a 10-year-old Icom radio with a battery that lasted 2.3 hours on a full charge. This replacement lasted 22.7 hours of continuous "on" with an occasional outgoing message. The color is off by just one tint or so, but with this performance, who cares? No problem getting on or off. I'm going to buy another as a back-up.

Rapid service by Colin from Stoke-on-Trent Great Britain

Works as advertised by A Customer from Sacramento, Ca
Pros: Long life Cons: doesnt match original color of radio, getting it on the radio first time was a nightmare Review: I'm glad I purchased the battery. However, getting it on the radio the first few times was extremely difficult. Once it has been on/off the radio a few times, it slides smoothly and provides a good battery life.

Pros: Longer battery life and good endurance Cons: Difficultly sliding into old unit. Review: The unit was a little difficult to slide into the old radio. It required the use of silicon spray to allow it to slide into the rails of the radio.
Other than that the unit charged fine and is working well.
