🔋 2Pack Xfox BL-5 Battery Eliminator with DC 12V Car Charger - Compatible with BF-F8 BF-F8HP BF-F8+ UV-5R Series UV-5R-2 UV-5RA UV-5RB UV-5RC UV-5RD UV-5RE Two-Way Radios Review

Ordered these and one worked the other didn't. I sent it back and got a replacement quickly. Again one worked, the other didn't. I only want two that work! I'm sending them back.

One worked, the other didn't. The one that didn't have as much interference couldn't receive transmissions from another radio, and all transmissions were filled with noise.

Internal voltage regulator can't handle the transmission load. I learned it the hard way. It is received but NOT sent. I read this review before purchasing and ignored the warning. I wanted to go cheap and got what I paid for.

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.

Works great! But it won't be long. After about 30 minutes, the Qso got hot enough not only to feel uncomfortable, but to melt the hot glue inside and the chip started to slide. Also, the battery compartment still had the e-battery label on it and it didn't say "battery rectifier" or anything like that. Poor quality but not sure if the more expensive one would be better as they all look the same.
