These have been a life saver during the power outages and hurricane Helene response here in WNC!! KG4YVS
So far so good. I have already recommended this battery to some of my ARES group members. The battery retention tabs are a bit stiff, so be careful not to over flex or force them. I haven't put it through the ringer of all day APRS and voice ops yet, but I have no doubts that it is up to the task. I plan to leave this battery installed on my HT unless I somehow manage to drain it and my charging bank. I will probably order a second as a spare just in case something happens to this one. There's no way I could go back to the small factory batteries.
Fine little gizmo. used it at an ham fest and people like it a lot.
1 little thing, would be fun if we could change color.
total score 9/10
Perfect. The way It should have been made from Yaesu to start with. My FT-5 just got better. Thank you W0AEZ. I bought the quick charger before I had the battery. And they work seamless together.
What a pleasure it was dealing with W0AEZ. Communication, willingness to help, checking up on eamils sent over the weekend...the list goes on. Check out their webpage and support this business. You'll be glad you did.
Haven’t used it yet. Still waiting to buy a battery or two. However, I’m sure I will be happy. Sturdy 3D printed piece. Cord is easily replaceable if damaged.
The only extended battery on the market and a great product.
This is a fantastic battery upgrade for my HT. The stock battery for my FT3 doesn't last very long and takes a very long time to recharge. This upgraded battery has more capacity and therefore lasts a really long time. It can also be recharged using a USB C cable.
I love this battery. Way easier and faster to charge than the stock battery. Thank you.
Charged nicely. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet.
The battery lasts so long compared to the official batteries. Now I don't mind carrying the radio in the field worrying about it dying on me.
This battery is a gamechanger for the FT3d! Especially when running aprs it can be a battery hog. This allows you to run without having to charge all the time. Amazing!
Hours more battery life than oem! Highly recommend!!
