Who it's for

Built for crews who can't count on a wall charger — emergency backup, remote job sites, outdoor teams swapping fresh AAs on the fly, and preparedness kits. Keep one in the gear bag so a dead rechargeable pack never takes a radio offline. Pair it with a Kenwood KBH-10 Spring Action Belt Clip for hands-free carry, and see all Power & Charging options.
