BaoFeng Original BaoFeng UV-5R Two-way Radio Battery

Baofeng 7.4v 1800mAh Li-ion Battery for UV-5R After purchasing a Baofeng UV-5RA, I was quick to search for another. It was a great deal, and a good performer. It actually cost less than a new battery for my other HTs. While the radio itself isn't a Yaesu FT-530, with every bell & whistle imaginable, it is smaller, lighter, and has plenty of features for the average user. This battery contributes to keeping the radio shirt pocket size, while allowing it to run for about 3-4 times as long as my good ole Yaesu. While searching for another UV-5RA, I was curious about available accessories such as spare batteries, external speaker/mic, better antenna, battery eliminator, case etc. I found this battery quickly and was pleasantly surprised by the price. Just a few days after placing my order, the batteries arrived, packed well, and earlier than the projected delivery date! The supplied tracking number allowed me to follow the delivery from packaging to my front door. Wow! What great service! Upon inspection, the batteries weren't generic aftermarket accessories, but genuine OEM products with an embossed housing bearing the Baofeng name. The battery is also clearly labeled in English. The radio's owner's manual clearly stated the battery is shipped from the factory not fully charged, and requires charging before use. Again, I was pleasantly surprised to find each battery completely charged! Perhaps the vendor charged them before shipping? With a mix of standby, dual watch, scanning, listening to FM Broadcast radio, and a few QSO's (conversations) on local repeaters (a mix of high and low transmit power), the radio announced the battery was in need of a charge. The charge lasted about a day and half. My older HT's with much larger heavier batteries, only last a few hours per charge. This battery is extremely affordable, small, light weight, and powerful. Charging time from discharge to full charge is only a couple of hours. The battery charges while on the radio, or by itself in the charger. The battery itself is a great example of today's technology, and the pricing and service from Amazon is second to none. This recent experience is the best so far! I just hope they keep up their inventory on Baofeng products because I'm going to buy more. W6WAT

Rechargeable on the radio’s dock, check. High capacity, check. USB-C charging is a lifesaver, check. Yeah can’t say anything bad about this, the bigger size is really nice for radio pouches and storage too.

This Boafeng battery is a great replacement, and works as well as the original battery in the UV-5R. I purchased this one over a year ago and it still holds a charge as when it was new. Recommended!

Very nice!

This is an original Baofeng UV5R battery . It took about two hours to get it fully charged . It works fine with the UV5R. The price was right. I highly recommend this battery if you are looking for/need an extra battery.

For the Ham Radio enthusiasts, you can't beat a good BaoFeng. This was a second battery to carry with me. Fit fine and works great.

The classic UV5R, hard to beat for utility, size, rugged build. Very popular with radio amateurs. Great for FM satellite contacts with an Arrow antenna. I use two Baofengs for that. There are many accessories available for the UV5R and you can use CHIRP software with Windows and Ola Radio software with a Baofeng Bluetooth adapter to program it wirelessly. I'm receiving my wireless adapter today. But I have already programed several Baofeng HT's with CHIRP and a programming cable. An excellent radio that has over 125 channels available. You may want more than one, or two...

The battery was at a good price and was delivered promptly.

Buen producto, llego a tiempo

Battery for a hand held radio. Fits properly and performs as expected.

Still using the batteries years later and still charging OK.

Ottima

Siempre necesaria para estar abastecido. Una buena emisora necesita de una buena batería.
