I have several of the 3,800 mAh batteries and they have enough juice for 24 hrs or so. That big battery should provide plenty of talk time. I have several radios that use the same battery. Maybe I'll buy one eventually.

the price is what blows me away..  I have two of the new Baofengs DM32 radios with 2500 mH  and i get an easy 2.5 days out of them, 3-4 in monitor mode.  That 5200 on a UV5 has to last an easy week for under 25 bucks..

Oh, yeah, I can get days on a 3,800 mAh battery if it's mostly on standby. With regular use, about 3 x 8 hr days. Or, I guess 24 hrs straight through, if you have enough stamina for that.

Still having problems with this link; even on my Mac in addition to my iPhone.  Is it just me?

Do these work with the older style format: UV-5R, DM-5R and RD-5R?

Would not open for me last night on my iPad, but this morning it was working fine.

Works fine for me on Windows 11.  I'm not sure why I would want to see if it worked for me, but I did anyways and more than likely I probably won't do it again.

Opens fine now. 

That one has different connectors than the classic UV-5R models

It's for the 5RM series.

Ok,thanks; no good for me then.

I am looking for an upgraded 5200 MAh USB-C battery for my DMRs; I just ordered the 3800 high capacity one with USB-C from Amazon:

Is it safe to assume this will also work on an AR-5RM?

If it works on the older UV-5R, then NO..
If it works on any of the newer/bigger ones with the color screen, then, probably.

Thanks.

This one then: https://www.amazon.com/BAOFENG-Battery-Capacity-Charging-Extended/dp/B0DM8W5MTH?th=1

I am sending this one back!

It requires unscrewing and screwing the two screws each time.
