    As others have reported, the battery pack would not snap into place on BTECH UV-5X3 (same as the UV-5R). I had to carefully file the plastic in a few places to make it fit on the radio. Also as others have reported, I found that the contacts inside the battery pack are poorly designed with very minimal spacing between the positive and negative contacts, resulting in the possibility of the contacts shorting together. Besides that problem, the metal battery contacts are made from very thin metal with very little spring to them, and are poorly supported by the plastic body of the case resulting in intermittent contact between the battery terminals and the contacts in the case. I also found that some makes of NIMH battery do not have long enough positive battery contacts to extend far enough into the plastic of the battery case to make contact with the metal contacts of the case, so only certain brands of battery make contact in the case. Ive spent about 4 hours trying to make this thing work reliably. Great idea - bad execution. I cant recommend buying this battery holder. With all the problems this thing has, I am surprised that BTECH sells it as it is.

    I plan on using the rechargeable battery that comes with the radio most of the time. But I like the idea of having back up power just in case. The first thing I did when the AA battery adapter pack arrived was try it out to make sure it works as promised, and it did. The nice thing about AA batteries is that they are widely available. Where as the proprietary battery that comes with radio has a limited life span. Also like the fact that the AA pack can use either alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries, and come with provisions that allow you to use either voltage type battery.

    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

    I like this battery for two reasons: First, it increases the overall length of the UV-5R, thus making the radio feel a bit more substantial and offering a better feel in the hand. The 5R is quite tiny, after all, and this battery pack offers a superior grip for an adult male with big paws. Secondly, I like that it offers a second option for charging; in addition to the standard charging cradle connectors this unit also offers direct USB charging with a dedicated cable, meaning it can be charged from the USB power in a car (where it would be downright clumsy to try and use the charging cradle) or from a cell phone charger while traveling. I end up using a standard iPhone charger without having to bring along the normal cradle.

    Great life. It works for hours. Just wish I had an outdoor antenna to extend my range. It is used mostly inside. Do you have any suggestion for apartment dwellers that are enclosed with no roof access. Trying to figure out how to configure an outside antenna with side slide windows. Any suggestions w/b white helpful.

    Over time, the cable has a tendency to pull out of the housings. I put a small zip-tie around both ends where they go into a bushing type thing. But as far as providing power to a Baofeng (or similar) from a cigarette lighter fitting on a car: It does the job well.

    I have ordered, received, programmed, and used four BaoFeng radios and accessories from BTech and thrilled by the performance of the radios and the service when I have a question directed to BTECH. I received one radio that sent and received perfectly but the red transmit light was not functioning. BTech got me an RA number immediately to return for repair or replacement. I mailed it in to be received by them Monday. On that very Monday I received a notice that the repair or replaced radio was in the mail back to me. I call that exceptional service. They really stand by there product.

BaoFeng BF-F8HP, BF-F8+ and UV-5R Series Battery Eliminator with DC Adapter.

This is the genuine eliminator with the full heavy duty cable and correct voltage transformer. Counterfeit eliminators send direct voltage which may damage your radio and will not let it function properly. Including: circuit damage and not allowing the radio to transmit while under high power, unregulated voltage

This is the battery eliminator for the BaoFeng BF-F8HP, UV-5X3, and UV-5R series radios. To use the eliminator simply clip it to the back of the radio in place of the battery, then plug the cable into a cigarette lighter or accessory socket (12V only).

This allows your radio to run off the vehicle or selected 12V source. The eliminator supplies power to the radio directly from car.
