BAOFENG BL-5L 3800mAh Extended Battery

These batteries are a great upgrade. Significantly increase run-time over the small stock battery. Great price too. I keep the short battery as a backup. Ive had them for years with no noticable degradation. Recommend 👍🏼

Was hoping to use this in my TP5, but there is no means for the battery to lock in. Update: I have since procured a UV-5G Pro, and the battery fits perfectly in it. Updated review to 5 stars.

Perfect fit for my UV-5G PRO . I had this off the charger scanning for 36 hours and it only drop 1 bar . I really like this .

Purchased for a UV-5X3. I took a shot and it didn’t fit. BUT that’s not the end of it. Customer service came to the rescue and sent a replacement battery. I’d love to say the second battery fit, children sang songs and white doves were released. It didn’t. What did happen however was I decided to take a small thin file (toe/finger nail clipper file thickness) and lightly took off material on the catch/lip of the battery. Fractions of a millimeter - not inches did the trick. Keep the file perpendicular along the entire catch and lightly go back and forth a few times. Check for fit and repeat if necessary (third time was the charm for me). Even knowing work was performed there, I can’t tell material was removed (that’s how little needs to come off). BTech’s excellent customer service saved a customer and most importantly, I now have a high capacity battery that works with my radio.

It was a perfect replacement for the one that went bad.

Must to clarify this is NOT the usb c version. Normally I would have preferred the usbc version but I am using this with one of the byonics fox’s which it works perfect for. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I have both a UV-5R and a UV-5x3, and the battery fits both just fine with no excessive pressure needed to mate it. The battery's capacity is nothing short of amazing; it powered my radio in sporadic daily use, mostly on high power for solid signal into the repeater, for nearly a week during Hurricane Florence. I'll be ordering a second one for my other radio. Baofeng / BTECH web sites will tell you that this battery must be charged through the side connector. As far as I can tell, this is completely erroneous information. It has contacts for the charging cradle, fits the cradle perfectly even with the radio attached, and seems to have no problem reaching full charge that way.

I wanted this bigger battery not only for its added capacity, but also to give my BTECH UV-5X3 better ergonomics. I'm pleased with both. The battery fits the radio perfectly, and no modifications were needed. When just monitoring, the battery seems to last forever. I've gone several days without having to recharge it, and it's still going. It makes the radio much easier to hold without adding much weight. The radio also looks like a more expensive radio with it attached, and the large tri-band antenna I'm using no longer looks out of place on the small UV-5X3. For the price, I can't ask for much more.

Perfect battery and very fast delivery. Thanjs

Works as advertised

Ottima durata

Passt und es macht was soll. Danke für schnelle Lieferung , nutze Akku mit Bl-5 plus.

Menos mal que la compré, porque el cargador original lo perdí y la batería esta se carga por usb, que me vino genial en el apagón ya que era la única radio que tenía.
