ℹ️ Form Factor Notice
Because this is an extended 2600mAh capacity battery, it is physically thicker than the stock UV-5R battery. It extends the back profile of your radio, providing a larger, more ergonomic hold for adult hands.
Ditch the Charging Dock.
If you take your radio hiking, camping, or on long road trips, the last thing you want to pack is a bulky, proprietary AC charging cradle. The YDC Tech YT-26L Extended Battery revolutionizes how you power your Baofeng UV-5R series radio by featuring a built-in USB Type-C charging port.
Now you can recharge your radio directly from a portable power bank, solar panel, or car charger using the exact same USB-C cable you use for your smartphone. In addition to universal charging convenience, the YT-26L boasts a true 2600mAh capacity, significantly extending your standby and transmit times compared to the factory stock battery.
