I ordered one of these the other day for my UV-5R. I was wondering how secure the battery would fit, survive a fall or other abuse. The stock battery has two recesses that fit snug into the bottom posts on the radio.
On the bottom of the radio itself you will see a recessed trapezoidal shaped depression that is 1/8" deep. The new high cap battery has a similar shaped projection that should fit snug and secure.
Not many clear pics of the new battery on the net, but you can see the projection in this picture.
It looks as if the new battery should have a sturdy fit. I will find out soon.
