Add the Desk Cradle

Design Details: The shell features an improved locking mechanism that's easier to use, textured sidewalls for better grip, and clearly labeled model and capacity markings. Each battery is 3D-printed and hand-assembled. Minor texture variations are cosmetic and do not affect performance.

Charging Notes: Not all USB-C cables are created equal. If charging doesn't start, try a different cable. USB-A to USB-C cables are the most universally reliable. PPS-capable chargers will negotiate the optimal charge rate automatically.

Recommended Charger: Any USB-C charger rated 15W or higher will charge the battery at full speed. Lower-wattage chargers will still work, they'll just charge slower. PPS (Programmable Power Supply) chargers will automatically negotiate the optimal charge rate but are not required. A USB-A to USB-C cable with a standard USB-A wall adapter also works and is the most universally reliable option.

Charging Indicator:

Red + Blue (may appear purple): Charging
Red only: Fully charged
Blue only: Slow charge
Red flashing: Cable or charger issue. Swap the cable.

User-Serviceable Cells: The BP-Y14L is designed for long-term ownership. When cell capacity eventually degrades, you can open the pack and replace the Samsung 50E 21700 cells yourself. No need to buy a whole new battery.

Lead Time & Shipping: Batteries are made to order in small batches. Current lead time is posted at the top of the site. Please check there for the most up-to-date estimate. Shipping options and costs are calculated at checkout.

USA: USPS, UPS, and FedEx
International: UPS and DHL. Customer is responsible for any import duties, taxes, or brokerage fees.

FAQ:

Q: My battery isn't charging.
A: Try a different USB-C cable. If the red light flashes, the battery detected a cable issue, swap it and try again.

Q: Can I replace the cells myself?
A: Yes. The BP-Y14L is user-serviceable. The cells are Samsung 50E 21700s and can be swapped when needed.

Q: How do I install the belt clip?
A: Check the user guide or shell removal video under the Documents tab.

Q: Is there a kit version?
A: Yes, the BP-Y14L Kit is available separately for experienced builders who want to assemble their own.

Q: Can I use the stock Yaesu desk cradle?
A: No, this battery is not compatible with the stock desk cradle. The custom desk cradle is required.
