BTECH, BaoFeng BL-5 Battery Eliminator for for BF-F8HP, UV-5X3, and UV-5R Radios

So far so good. Only had for a week or so. I should have read the description better I thought it was two batteries but it was only one. The other thing I didn’t like is it does not come with a charging cable, and not like most people have the right one just sitting around. So I will have to buy one separate.

Needed to replace a couple of batteries on my radios and these are factory fresh and excellent. Very simple to install and charge. These hold the charge very well and i get plenty of talk time out of these. Since my radios are of the same brand they fit very well and look great

Long battery life. The built-in charging port is a great feature, since I dont have to bring the whole charging cradle along.

Ham radio operators are always looking for top notched equipment and the BaoFeng is at the top of the list. Great hand held for beginners in getting their feet wet in the wonderful world of amateur radio.

This fit my TIDRADIO UV5R perfectly. I have just used it on a sled dog race, working on the trail crew. I turned it on at 10:00AM Thursday and found it dead the same time on Saturday. I made 6 short transmissions with the radio located in mid-layer clothing to protect it from the single digit to mid twenties temperatures. It was on and monitoring the whole time. The last transmission I had to change out the battery pack. This is not a critical review as I wanted to see what I could expect from the battery pack.

Bought two of these for an event our radio club was helping out with. Lasted all day. Took it to another weekend event and operated each day, all day long with the usual nightly charge.

Great extra battery life.

The battery pack wouldnt click into place, and the radio wouldnt power on. I had to cut some plastic from the front of the pack to get it to fit.

This is a great backup that uses AA type alkaline batteries for powering your radio. As a ham that never knows what situation I might be facing for an emergency, this is very useful. I, and most people have a cache of AA batteries that I keep all of the time. This means if I drain my rechargeable batteries, this can be deployed with some fresh AA batteries to keep me on the air.

Just getting into HAM radio & bought a BF-5R. Fit as it should d charged on the stand like the OEM
