XHDATA BL-5C Battery 3.7V 1500mAh Rechargeable Battery Large Capacity for Radio for Home with Current Protection (2 Pieces)

Great both batteries work!

Update: Battery life is 12 hours and counting after draining and charging the batteries twice. I may be a very old man before I need to buy replacement batteries again. I am very pleased with this purchase. Less than the price of a couple of ice cream cones! I bought these batteries to replace the battery in my multi-function portable radio/mp3 player. The battery in the radio/mp3 lost its ability to hold a long lasting charge after I had kept it exposed on a sunny windowsill for years. The battery in the radio expanded--ballooning up in the middle--and would hold a charge for only 3 hours or so. These replacement batteries fit the radio perfectly. They accept a charge without issues and offer playing time consistent with the original battery as new--well over 8 hours. What a deal! Two batteries for a very reasonable price. This is the radio I bought that uses these batteries: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AJNAPXY/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You won't go wrong buying these batteries, or this little radio, either. I bought these batteries to keep this radio alive as it is awesomely great. I am happy that these replacement batteries work so well. They saved my great little radio/mp3 player from the trash bin. If you need this flavor of replacement battery - you won't go wrong.

This is a change in battery technology I welcome - tossing depleted batteries in the trash is wasteful. I do recycle mine but most people do not. USB charging and these longer life batteries are convenient. My radios came with 1 AH batteries, now this seller is offering 1.5 AH capacity for a reasonable price. There are many small portables and speakers that rely on this battery size. Both of these new ones charged up just fine in the radios. Now I have spares to change out in case of power outage.

These batteries seem to fit my need well. I am using them as replacements for a smart tv box mini keyboard. They are far superior to the original batteries and IU am ahppy with the purchase.

my radio started working again after replacing with this new battery

Long lasting Great for the price

As opposed to generically-branded BL-5C batteries, XHData has serious 'skin in the game' when it comes to ensuring this XHData-branded battery is a quality product. Because XHData (Dongguan XinHuaide Electronic Commerce), founded in 2015, currently sells high-end/up-market radios under the XHData, Radiwow and Sihuadon brand names. These batteries are intended, essentially, to be the OEM high-capacity substitute battery to be used within their radios. So you KNOW they are not going to be selling junk batteries … to be inserted into their high-end/up-market radios … and damage their radios and/or ruin the reputation of their radios. And that is why these XHDATA batteries currently have a 4.5-star rating over 1,500 reviews. Plus the price for this battery 2-pak is highly competitive. On the subject of those other "even-higher-capacity" gold batteries … Somewhere another reviewer pointed out that, ultimately, the capacities of these lithium batteries are constrained by volume. That the original BL-5C spec was 800mAh, the extended-life spec was 1000mAh … and that these 1500mAh batteries are just inside the limits of the technology and the volume constraint. Point being, you can ignore those 'gold foil' super-duper batteries claiming 2400+mAh. PLUS I personally have seen YouTube videos about these 'gold' batteries … and they are a LIE. They are used, almost-dead batteries of low capacity … and that truth is hidden … by over-wrapping them in alluring gold foil. You can actually peel off the gold foil and see the truth about the junk battery underneath.

I have a small Kaito KA 29 Radio which uses this kind of battery. I would not purchase that type of radio again, because these batteries need constant recharging and don’t hold a charge very long. This particular set of batteries, I thought would be more long lasting, they are not. As a matter of fact my older cheaper ones, which aren’t that great, are taking a charge, still, and lasting longer even though they don’t last long either. I may just chuck the radio after a while, and try to find another small AM/FM radio that uses regular AA or AAA batteries. Hard to find a good one these days, that have good sound, and aren’t too expensive, which they are. So this will probably be my last set of batteries of this type, not really durable.

Excellent produit.
