Who it's for

Key features
- Six-unit capacity: charges up to six Icom radios simultaneously from one station.
- 220V operation: single-power-source design for fleet charging.
- Li-Ion ready: built for radios using the BP-232N/H Li-Ion battery.
- Ready to deploy: includes the AC adapter and charger cups needed to set it up.
- Broad model coverage: compatible across many IC-F series portables with the correct charger adapter.
