Portable A/V almost caught fire

After about 5 minutes of use I noticed the radio turning on and off. I picked up the radio to look at the screen, it flickered. I noticed that the battery rectifier was warm, then smoke came out, the wire began to melt. Luckily I was able to unplug it relatively quickly.

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

This power adapter is exactly what you need to power Baofeng UV-5R type radio in your vehicle.

Units did not produce enough voltage for the radios to function correctly.
