The 82L battery fits better than the one that came with it!

This isn't really a review as such more a recommendation regarding the acquisition of spare Baofeng UV-82 batteries. As I recently purchased two such radios I thought it was wise to buy up a few spares.
I didn't really want to wait a fortnight for some to ship from China so finding the best price from a UK seller on eBay was the only solution.
Happily for me I found a good deal on a twin pack of UV-82L batteries. Presumably the 'L' was an abbreviation of large capacity? The label rating of these particular batteries were 3000mAh which will undoubtedly be bullshit. - just the standard 1700mAh type I suspect but I'm not bothered about that.

Black Label = 2800mAh  White Label = 3000mAh 

There are many counterfeit batteries hidden amongst the ebay listings and it can be a nightmare finding a reputable seller with the genuine article.
I'm glad to say that these batteries are the real deal (at least I think they are?) and the seller has the relevant Baofeng reseller approval certification. I have bought radio equipment from these guys before and never had any problems so I trust them for now.

After the initial three charges and discharges the batteries were tested one after the other in my Misuta 82.
Everything worked as normal and the batteries lasted the same length of time as the standard one supplied with the radio. Lol no way are these 3000mAh!


So that's it, two fully working battery replacements. Handy handy handy!

Great value for money 👍 😁😁😁😁
