I agree with having solar battery bank changeable batteries for all of my radios. Battery added to my cart. UV-9R plus shooooould be here in a few days. Thanx for the video

No problem! Hopefully the batteries become more available soon.

Funny I was coming to comment that these existed & should review them & you already had the review up 😂 FYI they also have UV5r usb-c batteries now too

I figured, Dremel is a wonderful tool! Use it on many things.

You should def import & resell this & the extended usb-c uv5r battery

I wouldn't support a radio I don't like by selling things like that for it unless it was something I already had at a huge discount so someone really in need could afford it. The multipin radios are way more superior & if the take rate was higher, Baofeng would improve on them more.

@@CallMeColtLLC I understand it’s a shame the multipin aren’t the standard for a few more $ it’s vastly superior

If only they would do this with the BL5 style extended batteries. I'm adding USBC charging myself on those.

@CallMeColtLLC Жыл бұрын

I think they have, I just haven't explored them because I dislike that style of radio.

@jmr Жыл бұрын

@@CallMeColtLLC I haven't seen them. I agree that style isn't as nice but I have tons of adapters and radios already for it. 🤷‍♂ EDIT: Maybe you are thinking of that little USB cable you can plug in to the batteries. Those SUCK and it's an extra cable. They tend to backfeed and never seem to charge the battery fully.

@@jmr No, they have ones just like in the video. And they also make good direct charges, you just need to buy from a good seller. I used the before changing to the multipin type.

@@CallMeColtLLC I'll try looking again. Either way I should have the parts to retrofit the batteries I have with USBC charging tomorrow evening. Thanks for the video!

There's been tests done that show this device is not actually waterproof

@CallMeColtLLC Жыл бұрын

My tests have shown it is fine for what it is rated at, IP67. All the "tests" I have seen showing that these radios are not waterproof are exceeding IP67 rating & is why they fail.

Great video. Does the battery you have there for the GY-3WP?

@CallMeColtLLC Жыл бұрын

If you mean the GT-3WP, yes!

Have to ask a stupid question, because I can’t find it anywhere. I just got mine and put them on the charger cord they came with. Are they still charging with the orange and green flashing (briefly)? Does it go solid green when fully charged?

Says there currently unavailable on the link. Good option tho thanks for finding these.

@CallMeColtLLC Жыл бұрын

Darn, a bunch must have been ordered already! I'm considering making a bulk order myself directly & then selling on my eBay store since it seems they're not really available & someone will need to take the leap of importing them.

@madmaxinthunderdome Жыл бұрын

Definitely a cool design I saw another kind with a charging port like what's on the base of the charger with usb on the other end.
