High-Capacity Waterproof Li-Ion Battery
Extended power for Icom F3400D, F4400D, F7010, F7020, and F7040 portables.
The Icom BP284 is a 7.2V lithium-ion battery rated at 3350mAh, delivering extended operating time for compatible Icom two-way radios. Its IP68 waterproof rating ensures reliable performance in demanding wet environments, making it a dependable power source for public safety, industrial, and field operations.
Designed as the high-capacity successor to the BP283, the BP284 nearly doubles the available runtime per charge, making it the preferred choice for professionals who cannot afford communication downtime during extended shifts. Whether deployed in law enforcement, emergency services, construction, or industrial environments, the BP284 is engineered to keep radios operational through the most demanding conditions without requiring mid-shift battery swaps.
The BP284 is a genuine OEM Icom battery manufactured in Japan, ensuring full compatibility and consistent performance with the radio's power management system. Unlike third-party alternatives, it is designed to work seamlessly with Icom's smart charging ecosystem, including gang chargers and rapid desktop units, to deliver accurate charge cycles and protect long-term battery health.
Key Features & Benefits
High 3350mAh Capacity: Delivers extended operating time, reducing the need for frequent battery changes during long shifts.
Waterproof Design (IP68): Ensures reliable power and functionality even when the radio is submerged in water.
Lightweight Lithium-Ion: Provides a high energy density without adding excessive weight to the portable radio.
Uninterrupted Communication: Long-lasting power ensures reliable communication throughout extended use.
Dependable in Harsh Conditions: Waterproof rating allows operation in wet or submerged environments.
OEM Icom Quality: Manufactured in Japan to Icom's exact specifications for full compatibility and reliable charge cycle performance.

Why Choose the BP284?
For teams operating in the field, battery reliability is not optional — it is mission-critical. The BP284's 3350mAh capacity provides significantly more runtime than the standard BP283, making it the right choice for 10- to 12-hour shifts where recharging mid-day is not practical. Its IP68 waterproof construction means the battery performs consistently whether the radio is exposed to rain, splashing, or brief submersion, matching the environmental protection ratings of the radios it powers.
Fleet managers will appreciate that the BP284 integrates directly with Icom's gang charging infrastructure. Using the BC214 Six-Unit Multi-Charger or the BC226 Connectable Rapid Desktop Charger, entire radio fleets can be charged overnight and ready for the next shift without individual attention. For mobile operations, the SS BC62 Mobile Rapid Rate Charger and IABC1019 Heavy Duty Vehicular Charger keep batteries topped up directly from a vehicle.
