Review on 2-Pack FNB-80Li FNB-58Li 1500MAh Li-Ion Batteries Compatible With Vertex VX-5R, VX-6R, VX-7R, VXA-700, VXA-710 And Standard Horizon HX460S, HX470S, HX471, HX471S, SBR-40Li Radios by Jarrett Francis

As I had not replaced the original batteries for my Yaesu VX-5 and VX-7 portable radios, I thought these batteries would be good replacements. Well, disappointment. The batteries are extremely tight fits inside the radios. It was quite difficult to the the battery into the VX-7. Installing into the VX-5 was less difficult, but still harder than it should be. During the charge cycle for the VX-7, using the Yaesu charger, the radio displayed a 'Charge Error'. Unplugged the charger and reconnected. Charging notice appeared once again, but after a time the 'Charge Error' message reappeared. Now charging the battery in the VX-5, but I expect the same results. Disappointing product.
