Saft BA-5372/U Military Lithium Battery
The BA-5372/U is a primary (non-rechargeable) Lithium Manganese Dioxide cell manufactured by Saft for use in the AN/PRC-119 SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System) manpack radio. Assembled in the USA, it is the direct replacement for BA-1372/U variants and is requisitioned under a single NSN for straightforward supply chain management.
Compatible Military Systems
The BA-5372/U is qualified for use with the AN/PRC-119 SINCGARS manpack single-channel ground and airborne radio system. It replaces all BA-5372 and BA-1372 part number variants across both families — see the full cross-reference list below.
Compact, Purpose-Built Design
At 0.63" diameter × 1.30" tall, the BA-5372/U is a compact cylindrical cell with dual pressure-type end contacts and an insulating sleeve. It outputs 6.0V at 500mAh — sized and specified for its dedicated function within the AN/PRC-119 platform. Installation is direct with no tools or adapters required.
Built for Long-Term Readiness
The Li-MnO2 chemistry delivers a 10-year shelf life with an ultra-low self-discharge rate, making the BA-5372/U well-suited for depot stockpiling and pre-positioned unit sets. Stable voltage output across -40°C to +71°C ensures reliable performance across the full range of operational environments without warm-up lag or voltage delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What radio does the BA-5372/U power?
The BA-5372/U is designed for use in the AN/PRC-119 SINCGARS manpack single-channel ground and airborne radio system. Consult your equipment's technical manual (TM) to confirm the correct battery position and installation procedure for your specific configuration.
What is the difference between the BA-5372/U and the BA-1372/U?
The BA-5372/U and BA-1372/U are cross-referenced as compatible replacements for the same application in the AN/PRC-119. If your technical manual or supply record references the BA-1372/U, the BA-5372/U is the current replacement.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No. The BA-5372/U is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium cell. It must be replaced once depleted and should never be connected to a charger.
What NSN is used to requisition this battery?
The BA-5372/U requisitions under a single NSN: 6135-01-214-6441.
What part numbers does this battery replace?
This battery covers all variants across the BA-5372 and BA-1372 families, including: BA-5372, BA-5372/U, BA-5372U, BA5372, BA5372/U, BA5372U, BA-1372, BA-1372/U, BA-1372U, BA1372, BA1372/U, and BA1372U.
How should this battery be stored?
Store in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The Li-MnO2 chemistry supports a 10-year shelf life under proper storage conditions. Keep terminals protected from conductive materials to prevent accidental discharge.
