🔌 BTECH USB Smart Charger Transformer Cable for BaoFeng, BTECH BF-F8HP, UV-82HP, UV-5R, UV-5X3 - Compatible with CH-5, CH-8 Charger Base Review

Completely unsafe to use! Don't leave them plugged into an outlet without someone around to watch. I purchased two cables for the same order from Baofeng's "official" dealer (one for each vehicle to charge the UV-82HP radio) and both cables melted at the USB end within minutes of being plugged in. This happened in two different cars. USB ports for charging.

Pretty much everything should go via USB now! It just works better! These guys decided to answer that call with this amazing USB adapter to charge my Baufeng radios and I'll tell you I'd buy them tea and fig newton when they got home. If I had fig newton or tea. However, I have the best Baufeng radio USB charger adapter and I LOVE THIS MAN! Thank you BTEC! You are the best!

Correct 10V conversion when using USB cable to Baofeng charger. I used a 12V car plug (cigarette plug) with a USB charger. Then this cable to the charger. Charged Baofeng in the car. Just make sure your car is idling and not turned off. Also works with laptop USB charging port and USB wall charger. You no longer need to use a square power cable for wall mounting. It is convenient to use any USB power adapter.

I was hoping that the dual body size model would fit both the charging dock and the larger battery for the BF-F8P, but no. One of the barrels is completely useless while the other is only good for the battery. None of the adapters work with the charging station. Even the packaging says BTECH batteries will use an angled adapter at first. Okay, then why not use a different adapter for the charging station? Not such a complex concept. Will return.

I read the reviews and had my doubts about chargers but decided to give it a try. 2 cars (2 walkie-talkies), 7 day trip from California to Tennessee, charging at least 10 hours a day - not a single problem. They stay slightly warm, definitely not hot and don't even reach the melting point of plastic - I tested them every hour for a couple of days. Of course, this can be due to the power consumption, but with a standard rechargeable battery (with charger on the radio tripod) it works without…

So, I bought this to avoid charging BL-5L batteries. Although I tested them to make sure they work as intended. Be careful, they get hot! It worries me, but nothing has melted yet. The real reason I bought this was to make a USB adapter for the Radioddity GD-77 charging station. They don't make them anymore. Everything works with the barrel adapter. WARNING. Make sure you are using a higher amperage USB port. Don't even try to use a cheap 1 amp device. Heat is generated every time you try to…

Unlike many counterfeit "chargers" that simply apply a source voltage to the battery (5VDC from USB will charge a Baofeng 7.4V battery NOT on), this cable brings the ACTIVE voltage to the correct level. I have measured the voltage with a multimeter on both the connector and charging pins and the voltage is fine. However, increasing the low voltage of the USB source reduces the amperage, so charging from a USB source takes significantly longer than from a 110 volt "wall wart". But it's a good…

It worked surprisingly well for my BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8W dual band radio! Connected to my 21w PowerPort Anker Universal Solar Charger and that cable still charged the radio. The bad thing is that without a docking port, there is no way to charge the battery. I need to use multiple ranger bands by keeping the radio in port while traveling using the solar charger on the outside of the backpack to keep it charged. I still have to charge the radio batteries when they run out, but when…
