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

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.

Was a tight fit but it will probably bot ever be removed until it fails. USB and cradle connection are handy.

Purchased for my UV-82HP so that all my radios would be USB-C capable. Charged the battery and stored for later use in my go kit. A month or so later, I removed the battery, and installed it on my UV-82HP. Nothing. The radio is dead as a door nail. Used it with the stock battery a minute before installing this BL-8L. The UV-82HP is now dead and will not work with any battery. The battery will not charge by USB-C or cradle. The battery shows 8.4 VDC at the terminals and proper polarity. BTech gave me an RMA to return it. However, since my only UV-82HP is the only one I have and it is now dead, I see no reason to pay for shipping the bad battery back only to receive a replacement that I have no radio to use it on. Writing this one off as a loss. The similar BL-5L for the UV-5R ordered at the same time works fine. Perhaps I just got a bad sample.

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.

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!

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.

I purchased two batteries on July 12, 2023. As both are USB-C they were charged with cable until the green light came on. When I went to use them in February 2024 both batteries were completely dead and would not recharge. Btech replaced both batteries without charge. Though I still don't know why they went dead. Thank you Btech
