Icom BC235
Desktop Rapid Charger with Trickle Mode
Intelligent Power Management for Marine Communication
The Icom BC235 is a high-efficiency desktop charging cradle specifically engineered for the Icom M37 handheld marine radio. Reliable power is a safety requirement on the water, and the BC-235 ensures your device is always ready for deployment. This charger utilizes a smart rapid-charging cycle to bring your battery to full capacity quickly, then automatically switches to a trickle mode. This transition prevents overcharging and thermal stress, significantly extending the overall health and lifespan of your Li-ion battery.
Designed with modern convenience in mind, the BC-235 features a Micro-B USB input port. This allows for versatile power sourcing, whether you are using a standard AC wall adapter or a compatible USB power bank while off-shore. Its compact footprint and stable base make it an ideal fit for vessel consoles, navigation stations, or home offices.
