Dramatically expand your operational runtime and upgrade your radio's handling with the BF-TECH CA BL-8 3800mAh 7.4V Extended Li-ion Battery Pack. Engineered specifically for the UV-82 chassis series, this extended-capacity power pack delivers a massive 3800mAh reserve—more than doubling the operational duty cycle of standard factory batteries to keep you on the air through demanding multi-day deployments, emergency nets, and remote backcountry expeditions.
The extended profile of the 3800mAh pack extends downward approximately 1.5 inches below the base of the transceiver, providing a full, confidence-inspiring grip that gives you better leverage and control, especially when wearing tactical or heavy work gloves. For ultimate charging versatility, this pack includes standard desktop cradle charge rails on the rear as well as an integrated 2.5mm direct DC barrel charge jack, allowing you to charge the battery directly via vehicle 12V adapters or USB power cables without carrying a desktop dock.
📻 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 Platform Chassis Compatibility
The BL-8 extended battery is precision-molded specifically for the UV-82 chassis architecture. 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 will not fit UV-5R or BF-F8 series transceivers, which require the BL-5 or BL-5L battery pack.
