I did want to offer up a suggestion for your case 3D printing. If you could make the corners of the case rounded it would fit more comfortably in your hand. The squared off corners kinda dig into my hand. Probably for those with smaller hands it wouldn't be an issue. This is kind of a small detail but I think it would make your product that much better.
The batterie big pack for the ft5de radio works very well, long time Batterie, It also sits sufficiently securely on the radio. The radio is significantly heavier with the additional battery, so it is recommended to use a small radio bag.So it can fall out of your hand and nothing will break. The only disadvantage I see when using it with the original battery is the lack of water resistance, so always be careful with water. thx u woaez, bbye.
Long lasting pack. Big improvement over stock packs. Kinda tricky to mount and remount though.
Great battery for the FT5 dr. Glad I purchased it and would definitely purchase again. Only complaint and it is minor, battery is a little difficult to remove. Battery life is excellent and seems to be very well made and usb-c charging is a bonus. Thanks for your efforts!
It does everything it’s advertised to do. Great capacity, love the USB C charging, and I like the fact that I can replace the battery pack myself when it eventually needs it.
