BTECH BL-8L 3600mAh Li-ion USB-C Charging OEM Replacement Battery Pack for BaoFeng & BTECH UV-82 Series Radios, Compatible with GMRS-V2, MURS-V2, UV-82HP, UV-82C

So, it went down like this....I lost my charging cradle. Ok maybe it is in a box somewhere but I couldn't find it. Searching for a replacement I stumbled across this battery upgrade with USB-C charging port. It doubles the capacity of the original and adds some much needed real estate to the small UV82-HP. There were no fitment issues as others have reported and if I ever find my charging cradle I can still use it.

Nothing much to say, it's a nice addition to your radio that will increase it's battery life, make it more "tacticool," and have a better grip. My first one was defective, since the voltage wasn't the same as advertised, but I got it replaced and the new one is fine.TIP: since the battery's tolerance isn't the same as the radio, it is very hard to push in. If the battery release "buttons" on the side of the radio aren't stiff and move around and make noise then you haven't inserted the battery fully. You have to push really hard on the battery until the buttons become stiff. Sometimes there is a click, other times not.

I bought this extended-life battery pack for my Baofeng BF-F8 Dual-Band, VHF/UHF, Handheld Transceiver. At 3800 mAh it has over 2000 mAh more staying power than the original equipment battery. That means it will last over twice as long as the original, before needing to recharge it. That makes it a superconvenient accessory! PLUS, it has four little protrusions on the bottom that will even allow the BF-F8 radio to stand up by itself, with the rubberduck antenna! I'm really pleased with this battery pack! I bought a second one to have in backup supply! You just can't pay a better price than twenty-bucks for an extended-life battery.I highly recommend this battery pack!

Seems to be a good battery. Haven't really been able to put it to the test yet.It didn't want to fit just right when I first received it. Probably just tolerance stack. But one side of the latches didn't want to engage properly. A minimum of time with a fine emery board, and it fit acceptably. The BTech GMRS V2 is such a handy radio with the original battery, the only thing that I can slightly ding this with is it really, sorta, kinda... just make the radio a little clunky. If it weren't a fact that the radio with the original sized battery is so handy, I wouldn't have noticed. But, the original is. So, the extra battery is sitting next to it on the shelf, ready for charging and use if/when the need arises. But I'm thinking of seeing if I can just get a second battery of the original size. Or maybe not.

Package arrived safely. I assumed it would come with the correct USB c baofeng cable but it did not. The charging cradle for the original battery will not work with this battery, as the old has 2 contacts and this extended battery has 3 contacts. The battery fit my uv 82hp but there is no audible click and you must use adequate force to seat the battery or it pulls out. I think it's best for me to return this one as I've searched for a baofeng USB c charging cable but am unable to locate one. If they insist you use the baofeng USB c charging cable, then they should supply it! UPDATE: I CONTACTED B TECH. THEY ADVISED ME THAT ANY USB C CHARGE CORD WOULD WORK. THE RADIO DID POWER ON WITH THE NEW BATTERY ATTACHED. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND CHARGED THE NEW BATTERY WHILE ATTACHED TO THE RADIO UNTIL THE LED TURNED GREEN. NOW THE UV82HP WILL NOT POWER ON WITH THE NEW BATTERY OR THE OLD BATTERY. I ADVISED B TECH AND THRY WERE WILLING TO HELP UNTIL I ADVISED THEM THAT MY RADIO WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY INSISTED THAT THE NEW BATTERY COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY OFFERED TO SELL ME A REFURBISHED UV82HP, I DECLINED THE OFFER. NO MORE BAOFENGS FIR ME. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT THE RADIO WAS FINE BEFORE, I THOUGHT I WAS ONLY UPGRADING TO A BATTERY THAT WAS USB C CHARGEABLE. THANKS FOR NOTHING B TECH. RETURNING THE DEFECTIVE BATTERY ASAP

Long life and fits perfectly in my radio. Love the fact it can be charged in the base or via usb-c. Used it on a two day off road trip and kept it plugged in. Has light on bottom of battery to let you know when it’s fully charged. Would definitely purchase this battery again.

Good battery with good added grip area. My only gripe with this battery is that it is quick difficult to remove. I would recommend there be some sort of side serrations to assist in removal.

These extended 3600mAh (3.6Ah) batteries have twice the amount of power that the standard 1800mAh (1.8mAh) battery has that comes with BaoFeng UV-82 model radios. They work great for extending the operational time on my Amateur Radio UV-82 HT's and my BaoFeng GMRS-V1 GMRS HT's. Good buy at the price BaoFeng Tech charges for these and they seem to be shipped almost immediately when you order them so they get delivered quickly too. I highly recommend both the battery and BaoFeng Tech. Great folks to do business with!
