Using the data set from T-721 to T+482 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 250818A (trigger #1343270)
(Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 41403

 ).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 213.816, -58.010 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  14h 15m 15.8s
   Dec(J2000) = -58d 00' 36.5"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 44%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts at
~T-15 s and ends at ~T+140 s. The main peak occurs at ~T+78 s. T90 (15-350
keV) is 106.86 +- 3.79 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-15.92 to T+141.43 sec is best fit by a
simple power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum
is 1.85 +- 0.04.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.03 x
10^-05 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+77.63 sec in the
15-150 keV band is 5.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the
90% confidence level.
