elxjar 7.2V 1800mAh NiMH Battery Replacement for Yaesu Vertex FNB-83 FNB-V94 FNB-V57 FNB-64 FT-60R VX-150 VX-160 VX-170 VX-180 VX-410 VX-420 VX-420A FT-270 Two-Way Radios

Holds charge good

Near perfect replacement except for needing to peel off a corner of the plastic on the bottom battery (right circled area) for it to make contact with the radio’s bottom left pin (center circle) as it is on the OEM battery (left circle). After that mod, it works real good and lasts a long time 👍🏼.

I bought this to replace a battery on my Yaesu FT-60 handheld radio. Out of the box the charge was pretty low, but I charged if for 12 hours or so and it was fine. I used it several times over the next 30 to 45 days with no issues. When I was noticing the charge was dropping I put it back on the charger for 12 + hours. Now it will NOT take a charge. My old battery charges fine so I know it isn't my charger. I am 1 month outside the return window and the battery is already shot. Tried to contact the seller but got no response.

I have not used the battery much yet, just put it into an old Yaesu VX-150 and powered on.It fits. It works. It saves an old 2m handheld radio from the junk pile.---------------May 2022 update:Just about 1 year later, this battery pack can no longer provide enough power to run the radio. After charging overnight via the radio, then unplugging the charger, when I turn on the radio and key the PTT, the radio immediately resets.Plugging the charge cable back in, pressing "F" and "Set" and dialing to "37 Batt", I can see the charging voltage of 13.9V. But when I unplug, the voltage sags below 6.8V immediately.

Quick shipping

Great,, immediately bought full new life to my twenty somethingyear old aviation hand held. I been using for over 6 months without any issues. Thanks

This battery is a drop-in replacement for the FNB-83 Yaesu battery. It works just fine and priced well below OEM. It does have the cover in the lower right hand corner that will need to be removed if you plan to use a stand charger. I only use the side panel charging Jack, and it works without modifications.

I have used OEM batteries for my radio for years. You just need to remove an small part of the cover of the last battery to ground touching the internal contact of the radio and that is it, the battery will charge through the radio dc charger
