Hytera BL1506 Li-Ion Battery for BD502i / BD552i
The BL1506 is the standard OEM Li-Ion battery for Hytera BD502i and BD552i portable radios. It delivers 1500mAh at 7.2V — supporting up to 16 hours of operation in digital mode under a standard 5-5-90 duty cycle. At 73g and 13.3mm thin, it fits every holster and vest mount designed for the BD5i / BD6i form factor without added bulk on a long shift.

Why Professionals Choose the Hytera Battery BL1506
Fleet managers running BD502i or BD552i radios across a full 10–12 hour shift face one recurring problem: standard batteries that fall short around hour 9, right when handoff between teams happens. The BL1506 is rated for 16 hours of continuous runtime in digital DMR mode (5-5-90 duty cycle), which covers extended shifts in manufacturing, security, and campus operations without a midday swap.
The battery runs at 7.2V with 1500mAh capacity — 10.8Wh total — and is built to ≥500 full charge cycles before capacity drops noticeably. The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction, which matters on loading docks, in food processing environments, or anywhere radios get wiped down with damp cloths during sanitation routines.
OEM construction means the BL1506 interfaces correctly with the BD5i and BD6i battery management circuit. Third-party batteries in this form factor often report inaccurate charge indicators on the radio display — a known issue with non-original cells that skip the handshake with Hytera's internal BMS. The BL1506 eliminates that variable.

FAQ
How many charge cycles before capacity drops noticeably?
The BL1506 is rated for ≥500 full charge cycles. In practice, Li-Ion cells in this class typically retain over 80% of rated capacity through that cycle count under normal operating conditions — meaning no deep discharge below 10% and no charging above 45°C. At a daily charging cadence, 500 cycles covers roughly 18 months to 2 years of regular fleet use.
Is this an original Hytera battery or an aftermarket product?
The BL1506 sold by AXDIGITAL is an original Hytera OEM part — not a compatible replacement, not a rebranded cell. It carries Hytera's part number, meets OEM electrical specifications, and is covered by Hytera's 1-year manufacturer warranty. AXDIGITAL is an authorized Hytera dealer supplying US enterprises with OEM accessories directly from the manufacturer's distribution chain.
