Safety Cautions
⚠ Do not disassemble, puncture or modify the battery housing — cell damage may cause electrolyte leakage or overheating. The electrolyte inside Ni-MH cells is corrosive (alkaline KOH); avoid any contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact, flush immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
⚠ Keep battery terminals away from metal objects such as coins, keys and jewelry to prevent accidental short-circuit. Do not expose the battery to high temperature above 60 degrees C, direct sunlight or open flame for extended periods.
⚠ Only charge with a Ni-MH compatible charger (constant current with negative delta-V cutoff or timer-controlled cutoff). Do not use a Li-ion CC/CV charger or a mismatched charger, and avoid leaving the battery on charge continuously for more than the recommended charging time.
⚠ This Ni-MH battery is cadmium-free but still contains regulated metals. Do not dispose of it with household waste. Return the spent battery to an authorized electronics or battery recycling collection point in compliance with local regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is ENH-KNB22 fully compatible with OEM KNB-22N and KENWOOD TK-380 / TK-390 series radios?-
A: Yes. ENH-KNB22 is a faithful OEM replacement for KENWOOD KNB-22N, with identical 11.05*5.84*2.10cm housing dimensions, plug-and-play fit for all TK-280, TK-290, TK-380, TK-385, TK-390, TK-480 and TK-481 two-way radios. No modification required.
Q2: What are the main advantages of Ni-MH compared to original Ni-CD KNB-22N?+
A: The ENH-KNB22 Ni-MH pack provides three key upgrades over the standard Ni-CD original: (1) Higher capacity — 2200mAh vs typical 1200-1500mAh Ni-CD — approximately 80% longer talk time per charge. (2) Cadmium-free environmental friendly chemistry, fully RoHS compliant and safe for indoor and EU-market deployments. (3) Lower memory effect — the pack tolerates partial top-up charging much better, so you can grab a quick top-up between shifts without harming long-term capacity.
Q3: Can I use my old KENWOOD KSC-15 / KSC-19 Ni-CD charger or any aftermarket Li-ion charger on this Ni-MH battery?+
A: For Ni-MH charging, use a Ni-MH compatible charger with constant current and either negative delta-V cutoff or a timer cutoff (most modern KENWOOD KSC-series chargers with Ni-MH mode support this). KENWOOD KSC-15 and KSC-19 typically work for both Ni-CD and Ni-MH packs — verify your charger's compatibility label first. Do NOT use a Li-ion CC/CV charger on this Ni-MH battery — the voltage profiles and cutoff logic are different, and using the wrong charger can cause overcharge, overheating and reduced cycle life. When in doubt, contact us with your charger model number to confirm compatibility.
Q4: Will ENH-KNB22 fit radios from KNB-25A, KNB-26N, KNB-30 or KNB-45L families?+
A: ENH-KNB22 is designed ONLY for KENWOOD TK-280, TK-290, TK-380, TK-385, TK-390, TK-480 and TK-481 series commercial radios (replacement for OEM KNB-22N). These radios belong to KENWOOD's classic commercial handheld family, which is a different size and contact layout from the later TK-2140/3140/2160/3160/2170/3170 series (which use KNB-25A/26N/57L packs) and the TK-2200/3200 entry-level series (which use KNB-30 packs). Each radio family has its own dedicated battery — housing dimensions, contact arrangement and locking mechanism are NOT interchangeable. Always check the model label on your radio or the OEM battery part number on your existing battery before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Q5: Do you support OEM custom labeling or bulk quantity orders?+
A: Yes, we accept OEM and ODM orders. Custom shell printing, private label, capacity variants (1500mAh, 1800mAh, 2200mAh, 2500mAh) and connector customization are all available for bulk quantity. Standard stock orders ship within 3-7 working days; OEM customized orders typically take 15-25 days lead time. Contact our sales team for exact quotation and MOQ.
