Will this work on the Etekcity® UV-5R

I can't find a way to send you a picture. but I ground the rectangular shaped thing on the battery where the bottom of the radio should set when the battery and radio are put together. only on the inside of the lip, so when you put them together you can't see any of the grinding. do not grind the radio just the battery. Hope this helps.... Dennis

I bought this battery for the UV-5RE Plus, it did not fit but I modified it with my Dremel tool and it worked fine. I do not know about the UV-5R. Good luck.

Do you mean the BOEFANG uv5r? This one wouldn't fit mine so I bought an extra reg size one.

I have only used it on the UV5 but the radios are the same just upgraded so if that is the case as long as the antenna mount is the same it should work. hope this helps

Yes, it is compatible with the UV-B6 and it will perform better over the stock antenna. I have several of these and have given a few to club members and they all reported better receive and transmit after installing this antenna.

I purchased this for my UV-5R+Plus and found it incompatible. I'm not sure of its compatibility with the -5RE. The "seat" of the battery into which my 5R+ radio should nest contains some plastic mold reinforcements which prevent my radio from mating with this battery. It's something you'd be best to compare visually. I have photos of the battery's "seat" alongside the mating base of my 5R+ which I'd be happy to share with you so you can compare it with your model 5RE. If interested, email me direct at RenoWind at Hotmail dot com as I'm not sure how to send a photo through Amazon's Q&A; server.

Looking at a picture of the battery of the UV-B5, it looks to be of a different size/form factor. I would email or call their technical support and ask them directly to get an answer.

I have a UV-5R and it didn't work. Case would not fit into body of radio. I had several e-mails back and forth with the seller. Solution they gave me didn't make sense, had the feeling English was a second lanuage for them.

As I understand these model numbers, UV-5R+ is the latest and greatest so far this year and replaces the UV-5R which are made for use in USA The other models appear to be for Europe and such, also so far the large battery only fits the UV-5R and not the +. I bought an extra regular battery for my + and it's working out fine.

Not sure about the Etekcity but I used it with the WiFiSky 1500 mW, which ises the same chipset as the AWUS036H, and it worked fine. so it probably will work with the Etekcity is it use the same chipset

I use the 3800mAH battery off my uv-5re. Either of my 5re batteries work on this radio. I did not see one on the baofeng tech site; I purchased mine previously elsewhere.

I have two UV-5rax+ radios and it works well with them. I have not tested it on a UV-5ra, but it should since they are from the same family.Do realize that this cable and several others use an older USB to Serial converter chip that Win 7 will not work with if you let Win 7 update the driver. Disconnect from the Internet and then use the CD to install the driver. The cable will work fine. Just remember to disconnect from the Internet before you plug the cable into the computer and it works well. My radios did not require me to trim the plug.

It works on my UV-5RE+, but I have read where others have had to grind down two small tabs on the battery pack to get it to fit their particular models. If required, the grinding is not difficult - it can be done with a dremel tool or file.

Two of my friends have the UV-5R models and I tried their batteries with my unit. They are indeed different and will not fit.

I have to agree with Daniel. I haven't seen a single high capacity battery that will fit any of the UV-5R knock-off versions of the radio. Yes, you can modify the battery to make it fit, but if you make a mistake in the modification, no vendor is going to take it back after it's been modified. If at all possible, it's better to stick with the original UV-5R so that all of the accessories work right out of the box.

Yes, but is is not the best.I would try http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-MenuDef.html

There is a pin in the middle of the hole but no instructions about charging through the hole such as polarity or voltage needed. A mod (hand grinding the plastic) is needed to fit the UV5R+. No mod is needed to charge from the bottom using the stock charger.

Sorry Andrew, I don't know for sure, but I find it to work perfectly in my Baofeng UV-5R radio. Check out the Baofeng info on www.milkor.com You should find your answer there. Good luck.
