Holds a charge well

Battery holds a charge well. 6 hours with the boys in the woods and haven't had to charge yet, there are 3 lines left. The seal of approval is here.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Compatibility

fit perfectly - Portable Audio Video

I somehow lost one of these batteries for a set I bought many years ago. The range is much better with the new AA batteries, AA batteries last longer too, but it's nice to have it on at night and ready to go in the morning. very glad i found it.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Good price. - Portable Audio & Video Equipment

I bought two of these batteries to replace the ones used in my Midland radios. I took a chance on the lower price to see how long they last. Midland brand batteries were about twice as expensive. As long as they work well.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Minor Repairability

Although they charged a fee once installed in.

Although charged, they do not work when installed in a walkie-talkie. There is a short somewhere and I was only able to get them to work by pressing the battery. I ordered two and both had this problem. Update: They ask for the batteries back and then get that transaction right, there's more to come.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

One disappointment is that (like the other reviewer here)

received 2 of these today. I was concerned at first because each of them came in a box labeled "LN-19010" which said they were Lithium-Ion and they didn't look at all what I expected. After checking the batteries myself, these turned out to be the same BATT5Rs I ordered. One disappointment is that (as another reviewer pointed out) they are 700mAh and the description here says they should have been 800mAh. The batteries still work. Let's hope they continue to work like the OEMs for a few more…

Pros
  • handsfree
Cons
  • long time

2 out of 3 were bad: not charged. Replacement is bad too.

2 out of 3 ordered were not charged at all. waste of time. Sold by Peoples Mart and operated by EcoSwift.com of Utah. The label on the battery reads: FenzerBG0110 Battery for BATT-5R6.0v 700mAh Ni-MH Important: charge 16 hours before first use I would try to charge for 16 hours but the charge indicator does not even light up on these two batteries in the Midland GXT1000 . The one that worked, the charger lit up, the battery (usually) warmed up and held a charge. Update 05/17/2015: Seller…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Update availability

Batteries Fenzer 700mAh

I bought this battery to replace my Midlands that no longer holds a charge. I have the GXT series and we mostly use them on our hikes. Well, summer is here and the hikes are fast approaching, so we headed to Revane to find a replacement. Of course, there are many variations of these batteries (and most batteries in general) here at Revain and I originally only wanted to buy a few more from Midland. However, they are more expensive and have terrible reviews. I was happy to see that there were…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
