Pros & Cons
Pros
Battery fits the radio without sticking out anywhere. Thickness is spot-on. Fit and finish was on par with beofeng uv-5r radio and standard battery pack.
The baofeng uv-5r has enough variations that getting accessories to fit your particular model can be challenging. These are legit oem batteries. Fits my f8hp fine. I really like the way this battery fits and adds to the ease of carrying the baofen uv-... Read More
They fit snugly and become part of the radio just like the shorter oem batteries that came with the units. Great item for your radio. Makes my baofeng feel like a real radio now.
Cons
Buyer beware. Only received one battery. Appears to be a fake copy.
Radio cuts off when pressing ptt or the screen gets garbled. Better buy it from your local ham radio store.
Highlights
Quality
The battery seems to be well made and the size is also nice
I did have to trim the front lip to fit my uv5xp but these batteries work very well with good life in normal use and quick recharge times
Fit and finish was on par with beofeng uv5r radio and standard battery pack
It holds charge for 3 days with 10 hours of use per day
Price
Incredible value for an already great radio
I wanted to buy the oem battery and this one was inexpensive and i was surprised at how good it was
Shipping
They were in new condition arrived on time and a good fit
Competitiveness
These are identical to the 3800 mah battery which came with my upgraded baofeng uv5r tri power
Decided to stay away from off brands and buy from baofeng
