Worth Every Penny

  • By PiperProud @ UKT from Quakertown PA USA on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
  • Pros: Plugs in, uses original charger, battery life at least 3 times longer.
  • Cons: A little fatter. A little heavier.
  • Review: This radio has been practically useless since I bought it.
    The original battery may have been defective, but since it was the only one....
    I finally decided to try a replacement.
    What a difference!!! Instead of requiring charging after 15-20 minutes of use, I have used in on and off for a week (after an initial overnight charge) and haven't had to charge it yet.

Super Battery to the rescue!

  • By Mark from San jose CA USA on Tuesday, July 5, 2011
  • Pros: Solid power for a critical device.
  • Cons: Only comes in one color.
  • Review: Super product. I can use my radio all day in Rx/Tx without worrying about loosing power. I've run it in Rx mode for over 2 days before it starts to whine about having a low electron supply.

Better than original

  • By Stephen Brown from Mesa AZ on Thursday, January 3, 2013
  • Pros: Huge power capacity extends run time significantly
  • Cons: Adds to overall device thickness
  • Review: The one complaint I had with original IC-5A capability was battery capacity (700mAh), it just would not run for more than few hours on receive, and transmit would further reduce run time. Upgrading to larger (1450mAh) battery is huge improvement, this thing seems to run for days.

    For that increase in power capacity the upgraded battery is roughly twice thickness of original, not yet bulky but bit thicker overall; new battery also comes with it's own spring loaded belt clip

Solid Battery

  • By Jeff from Port Orange FL USA on Tuesday, March 15, 2011
  • Pros: Better Battery Life
  • Cons: Some may not like the thickness but it didn't bother me
  • Review: If you want more Battery Life out of your Icom, this is the battery for you. I also like the "heaviness" of the battery and it makes the entire unit more solid.

  • Pros: Long life
  • Cons: None in particular
  • Review:

    What the original battery should have been. Will run the  radio all day.

Good product so far.

  • By Ross from Castro Valley CA USA on Wednesday, July 12, 2017
  • Pros: Same design (externally) and size, works with my equipment as standard.
  • Cons: none I can see
  • Review: The first one I bought is still functional at 7 years old. I was hearing a lot of static, and feared it was failing, so purchased a new one. Turns out the old one is still fine. I've used the new one only once, but it's just as functional as the first one, so I have a very nice back up now!

  • By Raul from Foxfield CO USA on Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Better than the ICom battery

  • By matthew from scottsdale AZ USA on Friday, May 29, 2009
  • Pros: Powerhouse
  • Cons: none
  • Review: The original iCOM battery is a piece of garbage. This is the battery it SHOULD have come with from the factory. Long life, strong belt clip. Did I mention long life? 4 times longer than the original. Only slightly thicker. Great service from MYPILOTSTORE!

Radio should have come with this battery,

  • By A Customer from Walnut Cove NC USA on Friday, August 14, 2009
  • Pros: ++++++
  • Cons: none
  • Review: The battery more then met my expectations. I was able to charge it with the charger that came with the radio. Used it for a day of instruction in the sailplane and did not run out of charge. Fit the radio well and large enough to hold on to when using the radio. The factory battery made the radio a bit on the small toy side when used.

  • By Frank from North Kingstown RI USA on Monday, March 14, 2011
  • Pros: Good Items work well. Charge lasts longer than most others
  • Cons: Nothing concering the products just the salesperson never explained what I should be purchasing and not what they wanted me to buy.
  • Review: Good product although I was not given the whole story behind the product. I told the person I had an IcomIC-A23 and wanted to purchase the Super charger which I did; They sent it out but it would not charge the battery in my Icom. I called them and explained and they then told me that I should purchase the new type battery and that the super charger would work well.I now have a new battery, a new super charger and an old battery that need charging. You have great salespeople. With all that I purchased I could have almost paid for a new Icom.... Anybody need an old battery that need to be charged?

Working Well

  • By A Customer from Kenosha WI USA on Wednesday, October 7, 2009
  • Pros: Longer lasting than original.
  • Cons: Slightly larger but not objectionable.
  • Review: My original battery started dying after less than an hour of use. I needed a good replacement that would last longer than the original did. So far this replacement battery has lasted longer than I need it to. At least four hours continuously on during cross-country flying with regular transmissions. So far I rate it a good buy.

Perfect for me!

  • By Carl from Middleton MA USA on Tuesday, February 26, 2008
  • Pros: No more running out of power after a few hours.
  • Cons: A little deeper and heavier
  • Review: I love my new IC-A23 battery pack. No more running out of power after a few hours. With the 1450mAh battery pack I can go for a few days. The form factor isn't bad, a little deeper and heavier - but fits fine in the hand.

A good buy- works well

  • By Warren Bishop from Iowa City IA USA on Thursday, January 3, 2008
  • Pros: Large battery capacity
  • Cons: A little thicker than the standard battery
  • Review: This battery appears to have much more capacity than the standard "slim" battery that came with my Icom AC-5 when I purchased it. However, I have used it only for short peroids of time on the ground prior to start-up. The main reason for me having the Icom is as emergency back-up. I have not needed to recharge it yet since the initial overnight charge when it arrived. This is significantly better than the original battery.

Icom IC-Q23 NI-MH Battery

  • By Mark from Osceola IN USA on Monday, October 21, 2013
  • Pros: Battery life, consistent recharging
  • Cons: Cost, would like to have a battery charge indicator available
  • Review: Compared to the original NiCad battery, this is a great improvement.
    The fit was very snug, but it did fit.
    The size was slightly larger than the NiCad, but not overly so.
    The original charge time was 24 hrs, but the battery life was great. Well worth the wait. I would buy again.

Anything less is uncivilized

  • By James from Houston TX USA on Monday, October 2, 2017
  • Pros: All day long performance, great standby times
  • Cons:
  • Review: Huge capacity vs the stock battery pack, holds a standby charge well without a visit to the charger. We now use this battery in the icon a23 for ground to air when solo working students and chasing radio issues. I put up with the stock battery and piss poor performance for too long. Get the rapid charger with it, no more plug in today, don't forget it tomorrow issues.

Good Battery but slow to charge.

  • By Jim from Smyrna TN USA on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
  • Pros: Lasts a long time. Much longer than stock battery.
  • Cons: Heavy and slow to charge.
  • Review: This battery was mostly what I expected but it was a little thicker and heavier that I anticipated. I had some difficulty getting it to attach to the radio the first time but soon you realize that a small amount of pressure in the right place and it will attach. It is slow to charge however taking two days to completely recharge using the charger that comes with the radio.

Locking clip/spring is too weak

  • By Bobby from Saint Robert MO USA on Thursday, February 12, 2015
  • Pros: Locking clip/spring is too weak to secure battery to radio
  • Cons: Holds a charge and powers the radio just fine
  • Review: Locking clip/spring is too weak to secure the battery to the radio. The battery won't stay attached to the radio on its own. I'm using a string rubber band around the base of the battery clip/spring and the radio to hold them together. Perhaps the clip/spring was damaged in shipment. The holds a charge and powers the radio just fine, but the rubber band looks pretty tacky and unprofessional.
