This battery lasted me over 24 hours in the field. This combined with the USB-C charge port is the perfect battery.
I have been a user of the D74 / D75 for several years now. They are both great radios with one major design flaw - their batteries.
I used to belong to a RACES organiztion and frequently participated in excercises requiring extensive use of my HT. I always wanted to use the D75 but was unable to do so simply because of its battery performance. Although I could have purchased additional Kenwood batteries these batteries are very costly and would have required several of them to last a full day of heavy use. Alas, I had to purchase a Chinese radio that was much less capable than than D75 but had great battery performance.
The BP-K75L v2 has changed all that. Although it adds a little bulk and weight to the D75, it is no bulkier or heavier than an ID-52 with the high capacity batter pack. It also performs just as well and maby even better.
If you are a D74 / D75 user get this batter pack. It is well made and has great customer service!
Long lasting, quality build I love it.
Awesome power life!!! Easy to recharge via USB-C power port without removing battery from HT. Only suggestion would be to design a better, easier to release tabs from HT as it is a little difficult.
This makes the FT3D useful for more than 5-6 hrs. I have been able to receive for about 48 hours.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to use their Yaesu handheld for more than a few hours.
This battery is all that it said it would be. It lasts me two days of use before I need to charge it. I have all ready purchased the one for my FT-5DR. I highly recommend this battery for anyone looking for using the HT for extended time.
The battery fitment is nice and tight. Support when an issue was found has been good. I am still waiting for the replacement board but the communications from seller are positive
This battery works flawlessly ! Very long usage time and belt clip still functional.
Great mini power bank. I use it with my QDX for a mini digital station. and can go several hours at 9V. Even use it to quick charge my phone.
I did some tests, side by side with the original battery and W0AEZ's battery. In all my tests, this battery performed 3x better than original. I love this battery when I go hiking as I trust it for APRS and voice for around 12h. APRS only is 18h. Thank you for making it!
I don't think I have anything that uses TNC connectors anymore, but I did have an old wireless router that did. The rest I use almost daily for one thing or another!
Looks good and hope its lastfor a good time. Thanks.
Though I'm not nuts about the orange one I got (only one available at the time) I have to say it is very useful. It still fits in the charger base though without the radio. I can also use the USB C connection which is a handy alternative. It seems to be very rugged with the 3d printed case very rugged. Good Piece of equipment!
I was monitoring a couple of local repeaters and got distracted. The screen timed out and I went to bed. Halfway through the next day I went to turn it on and found it already on and the battery indicator as full. The old 1800 mha battery will die after a couple of hours. Cool beans!!!
Great battery! Lasts 3 times longer than factory battery. Fits perfect on my FT3.
