Keep your communications online throughout extended operational shifts with the BF-TECH CA BL-8 2800mAh 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery Pack. Engineered specifically as a direct-fit replacement and high-capacity backup for the popular UV-82 radio chassis, this battery pack delivers robust, consistent DC power to handle the high current demands of 5-Watt and 8-Watt handheld transceivers.
Featuring premium lithium-ion cells with zero memory effect, the BL-8 provides up to 2800mAh of reserve capacity—delivering the standby longevity and transmit duty cycles necessary for full-day search and rescue missions, emergency communications, amateur club net operations, and long outdoor treks. It charges smoothly in standard OEM single-unit drop-in desktop cradles as well as the DC-8-6 6-way multi-unit rapid gang charger.
📻 Amateur Radio Licensing Notice
This power accessory is designed for use with compatible two-way transceivers. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate issued by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) (or an FCC Amateur License for US operators) is required to operate transmitting equipment on amateur frequencies. Licensed operators are responsible for ensuring station operation complies with the guidelines set out in ISED RBR-4.
🔌 UV-82 Chassis Form-Factor Compatibility
The BL-8 battery is precision-molded specifically for the UV-82 platform. It is fully compatible with the BF-TECH CA UV-82RT, Baofeng UV-82, UV-82HP, UV-82C, UV-82X, GMRS-V1, and MURS-V1. Note: This battery does not fit UV-5R or BF-F8 series radios, which require the BL-5 battery pack.
