I like the function of this charger, Would like to see if it could charge multiple other portable radios that has a usb c charging capabilities. Other than that I like it. Along with the W0AEZ BP-Y14L V6 battery
Works better than I thought would. Very happy with the purchase
This is the best battery for the the ft 2, 3, 5 can beat ot
I really appreciate not only the long lasting charge on this battery (almost 48 hours of continuous monitoring, APRS beaconing, and occasional TX), but the USB-C charging makes this perfect for travel and even off-grid situations.
Fits better the longer it's on the radio
