Review on Yaesu Vertex VX-5R, VX-6R, VX-7R, VX-5, VX-6, VX-7 Compatible CD-15A Charger For Standard Horizon HX460S HX460SS Hx471 Hx471S Radio And FNB80Li FNB58Li by Fernando Wolford

Very low quality on my review.

Immediately noticed how low quality this feels. The plastic is thin and light and the dc outlet is very loose when charging cord is plugged in. Putting my vx-6r into the charger, it would only charge when held to the rear. Otherwise the light would not appear. Additionally, it would only work with an aftermarket battery, not the original yaesu. Regardless, it is junk because I’m not going to hold my radio in all day long to charge it. I am returning and already bought the yaesu brand charger. It was over double the price even when on sale but it is worth every penny. It has a quality feel and works perfectly with all batteries. Don’t bother with this knockoff.

Pros
  • Great for quick charge. Inexpensive and works great, have charged 3 batteries, no problems.
Cons
  • Expensive: The high price of the Yaesu Vertex CD-15A charger may make it inaccessible or unaffordable for many people, particularly those on a budget or those wanting a more cost-effective option
