• Reviews around battery life (4.30 of 5)

    BaoFeng UV-82HP (Blue) High Power Dual Band Radio: 136-174mhz (VHF) 400-520mhz (UHF) Amateur (Ham) Portable Two-Way

    • Battery life is weak, hard to put in the charge cradle.
    • Battery life is great, even in freezing temps.
    • Two slight dings, neither worth a star: shorter battery life than the UV-5R, and a weird way to switch between Channel and Frequency mode (off then on again, while holding down the Menu button).Overall this unit is great, and for the price of a certain handheld that starts with a "Y", you could buy three of these PLUS Nagoya antenna upgrades (recommended) and extra battery packs
    • Battery life is pretty good, I get a whole day on one charge with moderate use
    • The radio works great battery life seems to be good no complaints.
    • Battery life has been amazing also.
    • how hard I try!Battery life seems good...definitely better than my Yaesu!So, if the performance on 2m and 70cm are equivalent, and given that the BaoFeng comes with stuff you don't get with your Yaesu, at 1/4 the price, you may be asking why anyone wouldn't choose the BaoFeng?
