Yaesu Original FBA-39 AA Battery Case (Fits 3 x AA Batteries *AA Batteries Not Included) for VX-8R Series - Includes: Belt Clip and Screws

exactly what I was looking for

was a good price and as advertised. it works well. shipped promptly.

Fits perfect and works as advertised. Will use as emergency batter in case Im unable to charge my battery pack. AA batteries should be easy to find.

Perfect description, fast shipping. great experience.

High quality product for those times when you need immediate backup power - without either the time or energy to recharge. Plug in 3 AA batteries and you are set. Lithium works best for deep drain.

Yaesu is as good as it gets! I have a FT5DR. I bought the fast charger base unit that the charge cord plugs into. With the base unit the radio charges in half the time as using just the wall cord. With this battery box three AA batteries you can get up to almost 12 hours of radio use. Awesome. Using GPS and other features of the radio requires power and the price of this authentic, Yaesu accessory, you have power! Get it and you wont be disappointed.

Excellent 3 AA Cell case for my new Yaesu FT-2DR. Now I can use high capacity Panasonic Pro eNeloop cells as a backup. Or as the primary with the factory as a backup. Excellent original product

I am glad to have a backup battery for my FT-2DR for public service events that run a little long.

Giga Parts has excellent service...

Typical Yaesu quality. As another reviewer mentioned, it does appear to be at least water resistant, so you dont lost that feature of the radio just because you ran out of Lithium battery packs. Itd be a sad state of affairs to be transmitting at a whopping 0.8 watts (as is the case of the FT1XD when running on this battery pack) but for monitoring, short range simplex, or strong repeater work, itd most definitely do the job when your 2200mAh packs run out. I almost didnt get one for this radio (the FT1XD wasnt cheap, nor were the plethora of other accessories I had already added to it) but being the only radio without a AA pack, it was nagging at me. Better to have and not need...
