  • You can get yourself a USB-C battery for your Baofeng here: amzn.to/43dq7Jd
    In this very short video I showcase the "new", large, rechargeable USB-C battery for the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio and the newer UV5R GMRS version - not only the UV-5R but this USBC battery will also work with any other amateur radio that used a standard BL-5 sized battery (thats the battery that comes on the UV-5R) - So you can also use this USB-C battery with the Baofeng BF-F8HP ham radio, the UV-5X3 ham radio, the UV-5RTP, and the Baofeng UV-5R+ - NOTE that his battery does NOT work with the new Baofeng UV-5G+ GMRS radio, because the UV-5G Plus does not use the BL-5 sized Baofeng battery.
    Basically.. This is a higher capacity rechargeable battery for your Baofeng, that you can charge directly via USB-C

    As a retired firefighter I cant help but thank you for enlightening the CZcamsr world of the availability of this wondrous product. The demands placed upon our local Fire departments increase everyday. Given the popularity of the UV 5R I can only imagine how busy my comrades are extinguishing fires from the hazardous chargers. So not only is this battery going to reduce Fire department call volume, It will help reduce injuries and loss of life, help lower insurance rates, reduce the need to pay deductibles etc.... but most importantly, it will reduce interruptions of firefighters very import recliner training. Thank you for your service to the community and my brothers! Im going to order 4 tomorrow!

I’m not gonna spend more money for a battery like yours bc I can still use the crappy desk mount charger. I rarely talk on my HTs anyway…I talk on my Inrico T-320 network radio or my DV SWITCH on my phone….when I’m using my base RF radio it’s the WOUXUN KG1000g Plus.
