   BL-8 Battery Eliminator
 
for the UV82 series
including UV82X, UV82L & UV89



 
 
After hearing stories about some 12V mobile battery eliminators being straight through 12VDC, I wanted to try the new BL-8 Battery Eliminator by Baofeng Tech first hand.

The first and most obvious difference was the quality. A heavy duty power cord and power plug, fully fused with red LED power indicator. Much more durable than others seen advertised. The unit appears ready to take any abuse you could throw at it.

This is not a charger, but a true battery eliminator. Before attaching to my UV82, it checked the voltage at the contacts. The UV-82 protection circuit will block the transmitter if voltage exceeds 9V. No problem here. A solid regulated 7.8VDC, exactly as it should be.

Attaching it to the radio was a simple slide and click. On the air contacts were clean with no heat build up from the eliminator.

This battery eliminator is not a rebranded generic, but a solidly built accessory for my collection.
