Keep a second set of batteries ready

The BCD436HP's AA batteries are easy to swap, which is handy because the installed batteries only charge when the scanner is turned off. The radio can run from USB power while on, but won't recharge the batteries at the same time.

We recommend keeping three extra rechargeable AAs in an external charger so you can keep listening without an eight-hour timeout.

Shop rechargeable AA batteries and the 4-bay AA battery charger, or select compatible options above.

Never try to charge disposable alkaline batteries.

Need to plug into a wall outlet?

The box includes a USB cable, but not a separate AC wall adapter. See our AC wall adapter, or add one with the accessories above.

Try the software before you buy

The BCD436HP uses Uniden Sentinel, free Windows software for the frequency database, Favorites Lists and firmware or database updates.
