Replacement battery for Baofeng UV-5R series

This 7.4 V 1200 mAh lithium-ion pack replaces the original BL-5 and BL-5L cells used in Baofeng UV-5R, UV-5R Plus, UV-5RHP, UV-5RA, UV-5RE, UV-5RL and TYT F8, F9 handhelds. It measures 83.77 x 51.85 x 18.92 mm and weighs 67.2 g, matching the factory footprint. The pack includes a decoded chip that communicates with the radio exactly as the OEM unit does. It is sold new and carries ISO9001, RoHS and CE certification.

Upgrade from depleted or lower-capacity packs

If the original battery no longer holds a full day of receive time or shows swollen casing, this 1200 mAh cell restores the radio to its rated 8.88 Wh capacity. The jump is worth it when the existing pack delivers less than half its original runtime or when the radio shuts down on transmit. A fresh pack reaches peak performance after two or three complete charge cycles.

Suits operators who need a direct-fit spare

Ideal for amateur radio users, security teams and outdoor groups that rely on the UV-5R platform and want a ready-to-install spare without soldering or case modification. Not suited for owners of radios that use a different voltage, connector layout or form factor, nor for buyers who require a higher-capacity extended pack for multi-day excursions.

What are the exact dimensions of this 7.4 V 1200 mAh pack so I can confirm it fits my UV-5R battery compartment?

How do I install the battery and what step do people often miss?

Slide the pack into the radio until the latch clicks, then verify the decoded chip contacts seat fully; the most common mistake is stopping before the latch engages.

What charging practice extends the life of this 1200 mAh replacement?
