Icom BP-291 Battery Case Li-Ion F52D F62D M85

The Icom BP-291 is a battery case designed to power the IC-F52D (VHF IDAS), IC-F62D (UHF IDAS), and IC-M85 (VHF Marine) portable radios using five standard AA cells. IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Per official Icom America documentation, the BP-291 is an AA-cell battery case — not a lithium-ion battery pack. The lithium-ion options for these radio platforms are the BP-290 and BP-294. The BP-291 battery case provides a field-convenient power source using commercially available AA alkaline or lithium primary cells, making it an ideal backup option when rechargeable Li-Ion packs cannot be charged in the field. It is form-factor matched to the BP-290/BP-294 footprint so it attaches directly to the radio without adapters or modifications.
