## Questions & Answers

**Q: With the charging port on the side of the battery what charger will fit this, and what voltage/current should it be?**
A: Hi mate, as you probably know, the Baofeng UV-5R or any of the UV series comes with a charging port, where the cable can be removed from the port and inputted into the side of the Battery. If you do not already have this port, heres the name of the product: Hotaluyt UV5R Battery Charger with USB Charging Cable

As you can see in the photo of that product, the wire can be removed from the back of the port and inserted into the side of the battery.

Hope this is useful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product.
*by S***C on 31 March 2021*

I've been using one of these batteries for a month or so now without problems. It has a charge socket on the side of the battery which allows charging on the go with a cable that can be purchased seperately. Good addition to a radio.
