This battery definitely has the capacity. I use it generally for APRS positioning, and a fully charged battery will not only last the entire event, but when I have used it in a vehicle for just APRS, it will still be working the next morning if I forgot to turn it off. I expected a longer life than the factory batteries, but it is considerably a longer-lasting battery. I will likely purchase another one for another operator with the same radio.
This is a well built battery. Fits perfectly on the radio.
I find this battery is a big improvement compared to Yaesu hi-cap battery in performance and time between charges.
That can make a real difference in many operating scenarios.

I recently purchased several batteries for my FT5 radio, and I am thoroughly impressed with the performance I have observed during testing. On average, these batteries have provided approximately 12 to 18 hours of continuous use and have lasted up to 30 hours on standby. During the hurricanes Helene and Milton, I was able to monitor local SARNET signals in Florida to stay informed about the evolving weather situation.
