Battery life is crazy good with this battery!
This is my second battery from Kevin, and I just want to say that the fit and finish of the new style battery are EXCELLENT. The modifications made from customer input are well done and it is apparent that Kevin listens to customer input. As a side note, I have tested both batteries (old and new case style) and both performed exactly the same. I got 27+ hours out of each battery with the FT5 in Scan mode on "heavy" usage with the volume at over 1/2!! I also got 22 hours of total battery time when running in scan mode, high volume AND transmitting 15 minutes of each hour (for 8 hours) on 5W (High power).
The case color match is excellent, and the Orange case is extremely visible at a distance. I teach SAR activities and usually use the Orange case as an example to my students about how things "disappear" in the desert landscape.
I would, without hesitation recommend this battery to anyone who has one of these radios. Considering that the factory Yaesu battery is basically the same price, I see no need to use the factory battery ever again. Lastly, the factory belt clip is a perfect fit onto this battery and for the extra space that this battery takes up, it is well worth changing from the factory battery.
Lastly, the radio stands solid when placed on a table and gives much more real estate to the bottom of the radio in case of accidental tip-over.
