Good Battery but slow to charge.

  • By Jim from Smyrna TN USA on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
  • Pros: Lasts a long time. Much longer than stock battery.
  • Cons: Heavy and slow to charge.
  • Review: This battery was mostly what I expected but it was a little thicker and heavier that I anticipated. I had some difficulty getting it to attach to the radio the first time but soon you realize that a small amount of pressure in the right place and it will attach. It is slow to charge however taking two days to completely recharge using the charger that comes with the radio.

Excellent improvement over the original equipment battery

  • By Darwin from Hendersonville NC USA on Tuesday, August 30, 2016
  • Pros: Fits the radio perfectly and stays charged longer than the original equipment
  • Cons: Not battery charge indicator but neither does the original.
  • Review: This battery met expectations. A little larger than the original but that was expected because of the additonal battery size but fit the radio perfectly.
    The battery stays charged much longer than the original.
