Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great battery, does not fit perfectly

Excellent battery life and construction. However, as others have noted, it does not solidly clip onto the UV-5R. If "fits" nicely but does not lock. I can live with that given its greatly improved battery life. Have a bit of black tape over the tab to ensure battery does not come off. Hope they fix this in a future update!

Pros
  • ✔️Larger Capacity Battery. Capacity: 3800 mAh Voltage: 7.4V. The extended working time of your favourite walkie talkie is almost 1.5 times longer than original 2800 mAh battery
Cons
  • Difficult to find charging cable or adapter
