Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My battery died prematurely, probably due to the fact that the radio never leaves its base.In a house setting it's vitally important for a two-way radio to operate while in its charging base.The problem is that the battery rarely gets a chance to exercise and will probably die due to non-use.
This generic battery module is fully compatible with the radio and costs less than 50% of the original manufacturer's unit.
I tried to use regular AA-size NiMH battery in the radio--they work to operate the radio but they will not recharge inside the radio for reasons I cannot identify.This was a big problem.It was important to get a custom-made battery for that radio that matches the radio's charging circuit.Even my regular source of custom-made battery modules did not have a properly fitting battery module for my radios.
I'm not sure what the problem was with regular NiMH AA-sized batteries, but this battery solves it at the same price as four NiMH AA batteries and way cheaper than the batteries the original manufacturer offers, and even cheaper than the custom-made battery vendor.
**EDIT** This battery is going strong in late 2010.I believe the original radio was discounted due to battery failures.I still saved quite a bit even with this new battery.
