"This my third battery. Great price."
BLF-1212A (10 hours on HF, at least 10 hours on VHF/UHF, 20% TX and 80% RX) · Power
A battery, charger, controller, solar panel, filter, or station-power component.
Why operators make room for it
BLF-1212A (10 hours on HF, at least 10 hours on VHF/UHF, 20% TX and 80% RX): match stored energy to the radio and operating plan
Includes built-in PCM (protection circuit module) which provides internal cell balancing and management, protection from overcurrent, undervoltage (overdischarge), overvoltage and short circuiting, and has integrated charging circuitry Available 110VAC/220 VAC Charger In practice if you are not using the battery for more than 3 months, simply top off the battery using the BPC- wall charger every 3 months. You do not need to leave the BPC- wall charger attached to the battery all the time. Simply top off using the BPC- wall charger, the LED light on the charger turning from red to green. The 50% rule is only needed if you will not be using the battery for more than 1 year. In that case, you will need to discharge the battery to about 12.8 VDC and then disconnect the wall charger from the battery and store.

- Best for
Away from the grid, every amp-hour, connector, charging source, and transmit duty cycle becomes part of the station design.
- What else you need
Protect every circuit with the specified polarity, fuse, cable size, ventilation, and charging limits.
What an operator can do
- Match battery chemistry, voltage, current capacity, connectors, charger, and controller to the station load.
- Protect every circuit with the specified polarity, fuse, cable size, ventilation, and charging limits.
- Estimate operating time from the actual transmit duty cycle rather than a maximum nameplate figure alone.
Complete product details
The Bioenno Power Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery Model BLF-1212A is a state-of-the-art 12V 12Ah battery. This battery is the entry level unit to our larger capacity product range. With applications ranging from audio amplifiers and audio-visual equipment to powering critical surveillance equipment, this is one of our most versatile larger capacity units that focuses on portability and a small form factor. The battery has an integrated PCM (protection circuit module) which provides complete internal cell balancing, complete integrated protection along with integrated charge circuitry and boasts no EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio-Frequency Interference) and is absolutely quiet! This unit has an available 110VAC/220 VAC AC-to-DC charger, that provides 2A with a DC Plug. Please note that this battery should be charged using a LiFePO4 compatible charger, and not a charger for SLA batteries.
