    It feels solid and it is great quality considering the price. I didnt have trouble locking it into place on my Baofeng F8HP like other reviewers have said. Anyways one big flaw I found with most all ham radios is the ability to charge the battery. I bought a HAM radio for emergency preparedness and one thing I quickly saw is that all I have is a wall adapter to charge the original battery. If power went out for a long time and I had no gas in my car then I couldnt use my radio. Ive modified most of my equipment to work with 18650 lithium-ion batteries. I have created a solar charger that can charge the 18650 cells so I can charge most of my equipment via solar when other methods are not available. So naturally I made an adapter for my radio so it can work off of 18650s. The original battery voltage is 7.4v and that is exactly what 2 18650 batteries provide, so all I had to do was solder on power connectors to the car adapter, radio adapter, and my new 18650 battery pack. So I can still plug it into my car if needed or use my 18650 battery pack to power my radio. See pictures for proof that it works! When I get survival gear I need to have it work in the middle of nowhere. Solar charging li-ion cells and modifying equipment to work with them is my solution.

    Item shows two of the product but you only get one it needs to be listed better and needs a picture that shows only one so you dont expect two. Other than that great product works great.

    Great idea. Great product. However, This has been warned about multiple times and cannot be said enough... Fix the top center battery contact tab before you ever use it. I bought 2 of these and one in one unit the tab was moved up and making contact with the other one when it arrived. Both the silicone method and the small piece of plastic are great fixes. I went with the latter because it seems a little more permanent

    I had to grind it down a bit so the batteries would seat correctly. Otherwise it wouldnt power up.

    I will install on Baofeng Radios on 3 day adventures. These batteries extend the battery life to about 30-35 ish hours.

    Very misleading product pic. It shows two batteries in the ad for this product. My fault, I should have read what comes in the box I would not have made this purchase. Another add for 30.00 for two is what I would or now have to buy

    In order for this 3800mah battery to properly fit the UV5RA a slight modification is necessary. Many videos say something about grinding inside the battery. Was not the case for me. A hot knife needed to cut the crescent shaped scallop off face of ext battery and it will now click perfectly into place on the UV5RA.

BaoFeng BF-F8HP, BF-F8+ and UV-5R Series Battery Eliminator with DC Adapter.

This is the genuine eliminator with the full heavy duty cable and correct voltage transformer. Counterfeit eliminators send direct voltage which may damage your radio and will not let it function properly. Including: circuit damage and not allowing the radio to transmit while under high power, unregulated voltage

This is the battery eliminator for the BaoFeng BF-F8HP, UV-5X3, and UV-5R series radios. To use the eliminator simply clip it to the back of the radio in place of the battery, then plug the cable into a cigarette lighter or accessory socket (12V only).

This allows your radio to run off the vehicle or selected 12V source. The eliminator supplies power to the radio directly from car.

Technical Specs:
Over Current Protection Input : DC 12-24V
Output MAX :7.8V 3A
