Features

  • Advanced USB-C Charging: The second-generation BL-8L now features a USB-C charging port for enhanced charging capabilities. Enjoy the convenience of USB-C technology, allowing for faster, more efficient charging. The BL-5L maintains backward compatibility with all existing charging docks, ensuring a seamless transition.
  • Genuine OEM BTECH Battery: True to its origins, the BL-5L is a reliable and robust battery designed with built-in protection against over-charging, over-heating, and short-circuiting. Trust in the quality and longevity of this upgraded BL-5L battery for all your power needs.
  • Extended Battery Life for UV-5R Series: The second-generation BL-5L doubles the battery life of your UV-5R series radio when compared to the standard BL-5. Light users can go a whole week without needing to charge, and average users can comfortably go 2 days without a charge, making this an essential accessory for your ham radio go kit.
  • Wide Compatibility: This battery is specifically designed for seamless integration with various radio models, including BF-F8HP, UV-5X3, UV-5R, and any other radios that use the BL-5 accessory standard.
  • Not only does the BL-5L extend the battery life of your radio; but it also adds 1.5" of length and 3 additional ounces when compared to the UV-5R with a stock BL-5 battery. This allows for a more solid feel in the hand when compared to using your radio with the stock BL-5 battery.

  • Works like it is supposed to.
Style: BL-5L Extended Li-ion Battery Pack
This is a great addition to the battery lineup for the radio. In situations where charging is not really an option.

  • Great way to insure reliability of your favorite cheap chinese radio!
Style: BL-5L Extended Li-ion Battery Pack
I wasn't a fan of Baofeng until I got one, and now it's my favorite radio. Not because it's the best, simplest, or easiest to use, but because it IS so cheap that if I lose it or break it, I'm not out a lot of money. And, I have to say, it does work well. My only beef was the battery life wasn't very good. The extended battery is the perfect answer. While it is just over twice the stock battery in listed capacity, I've had it on monitor mode for two days staight and it's worked fine. I couldn't get over a day with the small stock battery. I also prefer it's size - it actually feels better in my hand than the stock one, and I don't seem to fumble or drop it as easily. It also makes the radio feel a bit more 'legitamate' as a radio rather than feeling like a small plastic childs toy. I wish I had purchased it sooner. ... show more

  • The AI lies.
Style: BL-5L Extended Li-ion Battery Pack
The AI says this won't fit the 8 watt version. It's working just fine. (edit, it physically fits and works, only shows 3 /4 bars. Maybe this way from factory) Haven't used it long, but seems fine for the price, USB port is nice, Imma trust the fact it's in my UK-5R8W and working over the robot. Fits charger like crap, just like the original. Real person, or am I? I'm thinking this is perhaps basically a regular extended battery, with less juice than the 8 watt needs (longevity or weak transmission). Functions fine, transmits, operates on charger. So, I'm ok with that for the price. Subject to change! Returned it. Get a pack with radio's, and these...they end up costing like 5 bux per. ... show more
