Description
BK Technologies BKR0101
4900mAh Li-Ion SURPASS Smart Battery
Ultra-High Capacity Submersible Power for BKR Series
The BK Technologies BKR0101 is the premier high-density power solution designed to keep BKR5000 portable radios operational through the longest and most demanding shifts. This SURPASS series smart battery pack delivers a massive 4900mAh capacity, providing the extended runtime necessary for wildland firefighting, search and rescue, and large-scale emergency response. Equipped with integrated smart-battery technology, the BK Technologies BKR0101 communicates critical health and charge data to the radio and charger, allowing users to monitor remaining capacity and cycle counts in real-time.
Built for extreme durability, the BK Technologies BKR0101 is engineered to meet IP68 submersibility standards, ensuring total protection against dust ingress and the ability to withstand immersion in water. This rugged construction prevents power failure in heavy rain or amphibious operations, while the lithium-ion chemistry provides a superior power-to-weight ratio without the "memory effect" of legacy cells. By utilizing the BK Technologies BKR0101, agencies can maximize their field time and reduce the logistical burden of carrying multiple spare batteries during mission-critical deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this battery last on a single charge? With its 4900mAh capacity, users typically see 18–24 hours of runtime under a standard 5-5-90 duty cycle, though high-power GPS usage or frequent transmissions may vary this duration.
Is this battery compatible with legacy KNG series chargers? No. The BKR0101 is designed specifically for the BKR series architecture. You must use BKR-specific charging hardware to ensure a proper fit and electrical connection.
What is the benefit of a "Smart" battery? Smart batteries like the BKR0101 store their own data. When placed in a smart charger, the charger can read the exact health of the cells and perform maintenance cycles only when necessary, which can significantly extend the battery's total service years.
