Work Great and Perfect Fit Right Out of the Box

I ordered this 2-pack battery kit from Mirkit and found them to work perfect and fit my UV-5Rs without any issue. I have 3 UV-5Rs, and I had ordered the standard BTECH one for my first UV-5R. That battery didn't work at first, and wouldn't seat properly on the radio at the contacts. It turned out that there was a small piece of plastic (residual from the manufacturing process) that was blocking the contacts, and it didn't take much to clean it up. That batter worked fine after that, but these…

Pros
  • Too soon to know.
Cons
  • Interferes with other radio frequencies

feels good in hand good for me

Value was very good. The battery fit to the radio perfectly. I do like the longer battery. It seems to feel better in my hand. I have not had it long enough to give it any reviews on longevity and battery life. So far, so good. Will be buying a battery for my GT-3 in the near future.

Pros
  • Always great products and reasonable prices. A+ from Me!
Cons
  • Prone to damage from drops or impacts

The radio has very poor documentation, but performs well

I bought the Baofeng because I needed a second HT to supplement my Kenwood TH6-FA. I am a railroad photographer and need two radios for safety when I am in remote locations. I use the Baofeng to scan the railroad frequencies while I use the Kenwood for ham communications. The large capacity battery allows me to use the Baofeng for extended periods.I have one complaint however. The documentation for the Baofeng is useless. It consists of a list of the function of each button, but provides no…

Pros
  • BAOFENG
Cons
  • Performs poorly in cold temperatures

Good price for two high capacity batteries

Haven't had them long enough to give a thorough test. They did charge fine and no issues attaching them to the radio. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Wireless
Cons
  • Oversells battery life

Exactly what I wanted!

I bought these batteries after continuing to use the short ones that came with my Baofeng uv-5r for five years! The radios are much more balanced in my hand now. The don't fall over as easily with the thicker antenna attached to the radio And the extra battery life is incredible! Why did I wait so long?

Pros
  • This is a great price price for original Baofeng batteries. Fast delivery.Charged fast it perfectly.
Cons
  • Does not fit snugly in radio

Quick delivery fits radio perfectly.

They charged up properly were delivered quickly, looks like a great value but I won't know about longevity for a while. Fit the radio perfectly.

Pros
  • 1* BL-8 3800 BLACK
Cons
  • Inconsistent performance across different radios

Does not last any longer than standard battery.

I tried these with 4-5 recharge cycles and they dont last any longer than standard 1800 mAh batteries.Also bought 2x 3800 mAh from a different seller which lasts more than twice as long as these!I suspect these are not genuine Baofeng batteries. I will be returning these.

Pros
  • Matches the radio, attaches and charges great. Great ergonomic upgrade too! 73!
Cons
  • Does not meet industry standards

Excellent Batteries & Long Life

I bought these extended batteries for my radios I purchased and they work great. Excellent standby time and talk time. These are excellent batteries and no issues so far. The fit is great and so easy to charge. Works great with my radios.Will def buy again!

Pros
  • Battery doesn’t want to lock in like the factory one that comes with it. Other then that it’s not bad.
Cons
  • Difficult to install

Make great radio greater!

The shortfall to these radios is the lack of USB charging. This fixes that plus extends your talk time. It gives you a battery to work on while one is in the cradle. Win win. Fits perfectly.

Pros
  • I don't see anything wrong with it. Works perfect and the battery life is awesome thank you!
Cons
  • Inconsistent performance in different weather conditions

Use of radio for longer time

Now I will be able to use my handheld a lot longer out in the field. Carrying two extra batteries will last till I get them recharged when I get back home or to the charger in my truck. Thank you

Pros
  • Worked as advertised... Fitting both my UV-5RE and UV-5RE Plus.
Cons
  • Causes radio to drain faster
