Type of review

These Mirkit batteries are a little more expensive than "generic" ones. I couldn't find a label of Baofeng OR Mirkit on the battery itself, so take that for what it's worth. They appear to be the identical 2100mA battery that ships in Mirkit radio UV5R MKX3. I tested them by setting in frequency scan mode and letting it run. It ran for 5 hours and still showed 2/3 charge. I continued to let it scan overnight. Not sure exactly when the juice ran out, but I consider that a successful test and…

Pros
  • All good
Cons
  • I am not able to program it, so I can't answer the questions.Please assist with a youtube

Battery life & longevity - Dont know. But Good Value

Cost me $20.82 for a pack of two, build quality of the battery is good. time will tell the lifespan/longevity of it.If you need a spear battery why not buy the larger capacity one with decent price.

Pros
  • great batteries to have for more life or a back up, can't go wrong with these
Cons
  • The product may be more expensive than other similar battery packs on the market

GREAT BATTERIES FOR THE PRICE

This is my second set of these 2100 mAh extended power batteries for my Baofeng UV-5R radios. The first set I purchase are still going strong, so when I bought another set of Baofeng UV-5R radios, I had to get a second set of these batteries. They do last longer between charging's so you're looking at about a full 8-9 hour battery at 70% usage and 30% standby time. No complaints here. I recommend these to any other UV-5R user.

Pros
  • Sorry, wrote the review for my radio. This is the battery I purchased. It works great !
Cons
  • The batteries may not work as well in extreme temperatures, such as very cold or hot conditions

great customer service

I have to admit, I have yet to use this product. I bought it because it came highly recommended. What I can say, is that I have received 2 emails offering assistance with any questions or issues I might have with the radio. Pretty good follow up I'd say.

Pros
  • Outstanding battery. Good battery life.
Cons
  • The batteries may take a long time to charge fully

Great price and fast shipping!

I needed two extended life batteries for my UV-5RX3 radios and Mirkit had exactly what I needed at a great price. Shipping was fast, too!

Pros
  • Just got the battery but it fit perfectly, charged up and is working fine. Very fast shipping
Cons
  • The high capacity battery pack may be too heavy and bulky for some users

Pros
  • Very affordable and great quality.Fits the Baofeng GT-3TP, UV-5R v2, BF-F8HP

Battery not as good as an 1800 Ma Battery

After contacting the vendor prior to buying the batteries and telling them that I would test them, I still received 2 batteries that were not even as good as the standard Boefeng battery. One battery was 1629 Mah the other was 1700 Mah. I believe that the Chinese manufacturers either have their own standards for defining Mah or they just print up labels to affix to their batteries to make them sell. These batteries are only at 80% of advertised even after a full charge to 8.33 VDc. I will be…

Pros
  • works longer than one that came with radio
Cons
  • The batteries may not fit into all types of two-way radio models

Battery does not work with BF-F8HP!

Battery does not engage battery latch on my BF-F8HP. Battery slides out because of no latch engagement! It does work with my MirKit uv-5r 8w.

Pros
  • the battery hold a good charge and gives plenty of run time with the UV5R and BF-F8HP radios.
Cons
  • The product may not come with a charging dock or other charging accessories

Long Lasting Battery

Found these 2100 mAh batteries for my UV-5R radios. These replace the original BL-5 1500 mAh batteries that came with my radios which weren't holding a charge anymore. These batteries keep the same size format without having the longer 3800 mAh battery size unless I need it. Good price and they keep a good charge well over 8 hours if used at 60-70% capacity. I recommend them.

Pros
  • The battery needed some pressure to overcome the warp and snap into the radio, but it works just fine.
Cons
  • Not as much uptime as the regular battery. A waste.

Good BaoFeng Radio Battery for fair price

First I'd like to say that my new battery was delivered very quickly. The battery properly fits the BaoFeng UV-5R. The storage capability of this battery will run the UV-5R for two or three days under normal use.

Pros
  • good product
Cons
  • The batteries may not hold a charge as well after extended use

Not sure how long it will last!

One of the questions about rating asked about battery life and longevity so I don't have any idea but they sure sent the one I ordered and I was very happy with the time it took to get it !

Pros
  • Excellent product
Cons
  • The high capacity batteries may drain more quickly if used with certain features, such as a flashlight or emergency alarm

They will be emergency communication while on hunting trips, and communications between hunting partners. They are going to be enjoyable for my wife and I HAM hobbies.

Pros
  • Needed an extra battery and a back-up one also, so this offer did the trick.
Cons
  • The product may not be widely available in all regions or countries

Rapid delivery. I'll have to wait to see what the "longevity" in use turns out to be compared to the OEM battery pack. That's my review.

Pros
  • Bartwrues came fully charged and ready to rock! Great price and fast shipping.
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with all types of two-way radios
