00:00If your Baofon keeps dying mid-hike, the fix costs less than a coffee.
00:04I went through every USB charger cable under $5.34, and these 5 are the ones actually worth
00:10your money. First up, the USB power charging cable for Baofon UV5R Pro. This one does fast
00:18charge on the 3,800 mAh battery, so you're not waiting around all afternoon. It fits UV5R Pro,
00:25UVS9, and UV10R. At $5.10, with over 3,700 sold and a perfect 5-star rating, that's about as
00:34safe as it
00:35gets. Next, the Baofon car charger boost cable. The boost cable is the whole point here, it pushes
00:42enough juice straight from a USB port or car adapter to actually charge your radio, not just
00:47trickle it. Works with UV5R, UV82, UV9R Plus, and UV13 Pro. $4.68, 3,700 sold, 4.7 stars.
01:00Great glovebox backup. Third one is the cheapest of the bunch, and it's not a Baofon. This is the
01:07USB charger cable for Yaesu radios, VX5R, VX6R, VX7R, FT60R, VX150, VX170, the whole family.
01:17If you run Yaesu, this is your cable. $2.60, nearly 2,800 sold, 4.7 stars. Honestly, hard to
01:27argue
01:27with that. Fourth, the Baofon BFU V5R USB charger and booster cable. Simple, no nonsense,
01:35and it just works with the 5R. 5 stars across the board from over 2,100 buyers, and it's $4
01:42.97.
01:44If all you need is one reliable cable for one reliable radio, grab this one and move on.
01:50Last up, the universal USB charger cable with the indicator light.
01:55That little light is underrated, you know instantly whether it's actually charging or
01:59just sitting there. Fits UV5R, UV82, BF888S, plus TYT and Retivus radios.
02:06Right at $5.34, 1,300 sold, 4.8 stars. Best pick if you own more than one brand.
02:15Links for all five are in the description below. Grab one, keep your radio alive.
