Review on ZZcell Replacement FNB 72Xe FNB 72Xh FNB7 72Xx by Marie Burris

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not meet current Yaesu specifications

Is it suitable for 817 and then 818 and the seller assures me they have a thermistor to detect overheating, not just a resistor found in many aftermarket packages. With a capacity of 1500 mAh, it corresponds to the old Yaesu FNB-85 battery. But Yaesu has upgraded this battery, and the new battery that comes with the FT-818 has a capacity of 1900mAh, which is 27% more capacity. Aftermarket batteries that fit the 817 and 818 and are either 1900mAh or 2000mAh are available from several battery suppliers here and elsewhere for around $25 and that would be my pick.

Pros
  • Compatible part numbers: Yaesu Vertex FNB-72, FNB-72x, FNB-72xe, FNB-72xh, FNB7-72xx, FNB-85, FT-817, FT-817ND
Cons
  • Long time
