Kg-935g Battery USB-C

[WRFE959]

I received my new battery for kg-935g. It has a USBC port on the back. 
 

Turns my favorite HT into an even better travel radio. I hated having to carry the charging base with me. 
 

Now I can charge it with the USB gear I carry with me anyway.

I have that on order - I was wondering how I would deal with the charging issue while overlanding/camping/etc and now (hopefully) it is a non-issue!  Guess it would have been nice had I waited 2 weeks to buy the radio as I could have bought the new models but oh well.

While the new usb-c port KG-935 battery is cool, it's actually has less miliamp hours than the standard battery. The standard battery comes in at 3200mAh while the new usb-c battery comes in at 2600mAh. Convenience sometimes comes with a price.

Yes. It’s worth it to me. I have the original battery with higher capacity.   I get great battery life with the 935. So it’s not like I am pushing make it through the day. 
 

And for travel, I prefer the compromise so I don’t have to take the charging base with me.   The radio still lasts all day and I can use the chargers I already carry with me.

And if worse comes to worse I can use the 10,000 mah external battery I use for other charging. 
 

it’s definitely a compromise that I am willing to make.
