The BP-Y24L is a handcrafted extended-life battery designed to nearly double the runtime of your Yaesu FT-70while offering modern USB-C charging. Built for durability and reliability, this 3.5Ah battery is constructed from rugged ABS plastic and uses genuine high-capacity 18650 cells for maximum performance.
Key Features:
Extended Runtime:3.5Ah(26Wh) capacity—almost double the stock battery life. Up to 32hrs of standby time.
Fast USB-C Charging: Upgraded 15W charging module, fully recharges in under 3 hours (typically under 2 hours).
User-Serviceable & Replaceable Cells: Designed for long-term use, allowing you to replace the 18650 cells when they reach end of life.

I’ve had good luck with the battery. I’ve had the battery disconnect and reconnect and it requires a “push” and it does reboot the radio (Ft-70)
A little annoying but still
Better than short working life of the stock battery

The battery pack worked perfectly. Easy to install and last much, much, much longer than the standard battery pack. Case is well built and strong. Absolutely recommend. I saw your product on KM9G YourTube channel.

Fantastic battery!
Had some hiccups with the initial battery that Kevin sent to me, but he was right on it and made everything right. Probably the best customer service I've seen.
The new battery fit perfectly and goes in place with a very satisfying snap. It keeps me on the air all day! Thanks!!!

Yaesu FT70 | 3.5Ah Capacity
It last a long time only down side, it need to be a little more moisture resistant. Very happy Thinking on getting an other one for my Ft-3d
Great upgrade to the standard available batteries. I am so glad I ran across this website and it's offerings. Do yourself a favor and just purchase one for your HT. You won't be sorry.

The rough 3D print doesnt allow it to slide as easily as a typical dock, but it does fit well and works admirably. Your radio can stay connected to the battery pack as its charging.
excellent battery life, i average about 4-5 days before needing to recharge it. I have been able to identity 9 nodes around me with go9od connections. Thanks
Nicely built. Fit to the radio is good. The instructions need to be updated on the very first part due to a change in manufacturing. Extends the battery life tremendously. Have already recommended it to friends.
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.

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!
I love the batteries! I have one for my Yaesu Ft5d and one for my Yaesu FT70. The USB-C fast charging is fantastic and is exactly what I needed for my new truck without any 12v outlets, only usb-c and usb-a. I had a couple of suggestions for the battery case and Kevin printed them with the mods and sent me new cases! You can't beat the customer service! Highly recommend anything he makes.

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.
