    • OK piece of kit
This is a key component of my poor man's mobile. I'm posting this same review for all the other accessories of the build, but not for the radio which I love and reviewed separately. Here's the build: BaoFeng BF-F8HP Nagoya UT-308UV 22-Inch Magnetic Mount VHF/UHF Antenna SMA-Female for AnyTone, BaoFeng, and Yaesu BaoFeng BL-5 12V Battery Eliminator for BF-F8HP and UV-5R Radios Baofeng BF-S112 Two Way Radio Speaker Regarding each part. Love the radio. The antenna is good and comes nicely packaged with all the needed parts. What is really nice is that the antenna, base, and feed lines are all separate pieces. Mix and match however you want. The base magnet is strong. The antenna and feed lines work well. The long feed line is about 10' which is plenty for me. The 12V adapter is also OK. It's a tight fit, but does fit. It's also pretty cheap - so modify it as you will to change connectors, move the input line, etc. Personally, I think feeding the wire gets in the way because it enters at the bottom of the radio. Such is life. Maybe I'll modify this thing to use a dedicated circuit instead of a cigarette lighter socket - and put on a longer power cord while I'm at it. The speaker thing. -hate- This thing almost kills the build. The first time I contacted someone they reported weak audio. I pulled the hand set and spoke directly into the radio and my audio improved. Also, the wire coil is too short and stiff. Wayyyy to short and stiff. You end up pulling the radio around by the wire. You might as well just hold the radio. But.... It turns out that wrapping the power cord of the 12V adapter and the antenna feed line is an OK solution. Anyways, this was a fun experiment but in the end it seems better to just use a handheld as a handheld and to get a real mobile for the car. ... show more

    • Work well, much better than cheaper options
These work quite well. We have now had 2 of them, the first blew a fuse after aroumnd a year, but works with a replacement fuse again. We have also had the cheaper version from a no-name vendor, and it did not provide enough current for the radio to transmit.

It feels solid and it is great quality considering the price. I didn't have trouble locking it into place on my Baofeng F8HP like other reviewers have said. Anyways one big flaw I found with most all ham radios is the ability to charge the battery. I bought a HAM radio for emergency preparedness and one thing I quickly saw is that all I have is a wall adapter to charge the original battery. If power went out for a long time and I had no gas in my car then I couldn't use my radio. I've modified most of my equipment to work with 18650 lithium-ion batteries. I have created a solar charger that can charge the 18650 cells so I can charge most of my equipment via solar when other methods are not available. So naturally I made an adapter for my radio so it can work off of 18650s. The original battery voltage is 7.4v and that is exactly what 2 18650 batteries provide, so all I had to do was solder on power connectors to the car adapter, radio adapter, and my new 18650 battery pack. So I can still plug it into my car if needed or use my 18650 battery pack to power my radio. See pictures for proof that it works! When I get survival gear I need to have it work in the middle of nowhere. Solar charging li-ion cells and modifying equipment to work with them is my solution. ... show more

    • Works well enough, somewhat flimsy.

Works great on my 2012 spec Baofeng UV-5R. Adapter seated fully and locked in place no problem or modification necessary. Ask the electronics appear to be contained in the 12v plug adapter. The battery replacement portion is glued together and I opted to not destroy it for the sake of taking pictures. I will update at a later time with pics if I relocate the wire to the side of the battery adapter so it can ride in a cup holder in the car better. I knocked off one star for the somewhat flimsy construction, and the fact the cable exits the bottom and not the side of the battery adapter. Radio powered up fine, I didn't have a chance to perform tx/rx tests. That being said if you're a light user and mostly monitor I think you'll be fine. For high power, more constant use I anticipate that the power transformer would become hot/exceed its duty cycle. Good enough for how cheap it was. I can always repurpose it with another higher current DC-DC adapter for higher power Tx requirements/ higher duty cycle/talk times. ... show more

    • It is what it is and is a good accessory to have to save your batteries
Even though this accessory could be a bit more substantive, (feels cheap and took some modification to the detent to snap into radio), other aspects work as advertised. It shows a max of 7.8W going into the radio (BF F8HP) when holding down the SQL button to check wattage, but the full charge on a battery pack is 8.4. Contacted BTech about this and they said this is normal. It is what it is and is a good accessory to have to save your batteries. Great to have and it really saves on your batteries! I now have two of them for the power supply I have in my house and it works fine. BaoFeng Tech personnel have ALWAYS BEEN HELPFUL AND WILL REPLACE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND WITH NO HASSLE. They replaced a defective battery eliminator upon request and after going through the RMA process. A reputable company is important when buying electronics mail order... I recommend buying ONLY from BaoFeng Techwhen buying any BaoFeng radio equipment. ... show more

    • Fit the purpose
Bought to replace the battery on my HT while using the radio in the car and as base station with amplifier. No more loss of power due to low battery.
