> 3 dayIve purchased several things from BTech. The latest was a AA Battery Pack. It works like its supposed to. There are a lot of cheap counterfeit Baofeng accessories on E-Bay and other places. Dont go there. Go straight to BTech to get real Baofeng radios and accessories that really work. Lots of cheap programming cables out there that dont work. Get the real ones from BTech.

> 3 dayThis extended battery has worked great and the length is more ergonomic than the standard battery. Ive notice the battery stands more fily when setting it down and still fits all Bofeng holders Ive purchased

> 3 dayThis pack actually works compared to knock offs it is able to transmit at full power without the radio turning off due to voltage regulation issues you get with other types of battery eliminators.

> 3 daySo far so good, charged this fully 8 days ago and it still has one battery bar left. It’s in use as a listening-only scanner most of the day (to my wife’s great dismay) only turned off consistently overnight. I also bought the little USB plug that charges this directly and it seems to work but I’ve only charged the battery once via dock as the beginning of the charge/discharge/repeat process. So far so good.

08-06-2025Needed 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

> 3 dayProduct works, but sometimes for no apparent reason while using the product with the radio after transmitting a message and release of the button the radio will power off and back on again reading out the message and not receiving the first 5 seconds of someone else’s transmission. This has happened with a couple different of these to both me and my father on separate radios. This “glitch” is isolated to the battery eliminator pack.

> 3 dayThe eliminator works very well. I have my hand held on the bench with my base radio so I can monitor two bands at the same time. This set up of course would use up the battery very quick. The eliminator saves the battery for mobile use.

Greater than one weekNothing else. This works with copies of the UV-5R like the Tidradio GM-5R. It’s a great battery. I just thought it’d be a two-pack for the price.
