BTECH Launches the BL-5RH AA Battery Pack: Your Ultimate Emergency Power Solution for the BF-F8HP PRO
Friday, December 19, 2025
ARLINGTON, SD – BTECH today unveiled the BL-5RH AA Battery Pack, a meticulously engineered extended emergency power solution for the BF-F8HP PRO and other two-way radios on the BL-5RH platform, including the UV-5RM, UV-5G Plus, and GM-5RH. Designed for seamless integration, this innovative accessory empowers users to harness common AA batteries for dependable backup power: perfect for emergency kits, field expeditions, vehicle glove boxes, and professional work sites where recharging lithium packs isn’t an option.
In an unpredictable world where staying connected during blackouts, severe weather, or off-grid adventures can make all the difference, traditional rechargeable batteries fall short without access to power. Picture this: You’re deep in a remote hike or navigating a storm-induced outage, and your radio’s lithium pack fades. With the BL-5RH AA Battery Pack, simply swap in readily available AAs and remain operational. Tailored for radio enthusiasts, first responders, outdoor adventurers, volunteers, and professionals seeking robust redundancy, this pack delivers “power-from-anywhere” versatility, ensuring your communications never skip a beat.
Two flexible AA configurations make the BL-5RH AA Battery Pack ready for a wide range of situations. Users can run six NiMH/NiCd AA batteries (1.2V) or five alkaline AA batteries (1.5V) with the included dummy cell (both configurations supporting full transmit and receive operation) with up to 10-20 hours of mixed use depending on power settings and duty cycle. Crafted from high-impact ABS plastic, this lightweight pack (just 3.1 ounces empty) withstands rugged conditions while enabling tool-free swaps for minimal downtime.
Key features of the BL-5RH AA Battery Pack include:
- BL-5RH Platform Compatibility: Designed for BF-F8HP PRO, UV-5RM, UV-5G Plus, GM-5RH, and other radios using the BL-5RH battery system for a secure, seamless fit.
- Flexible AA Power with Included Dummy Cell: Holds 6 AA batteries (not included); operate using 6 NiMH/NiCd (1.2V) or 5 alkaline (1.5V) + included dummy cell—both supporting full transmit/receive for dependable backup power.
- Rugged, Lightweight Construction: High-impact ABS shell built to handle field use while remaining compact and easy to store in a go-bag or glove box.
- Quick Swap, No Tools Required: Simple battery replacement for rapid power restoration—ideal for outages, remote trips, and extended operations.
- Cost-Effective Backup Power: Uses readily available AAs, reducing reliance on proprietary packs and chargers when you need options the most.
- USA-Based Support: Backed by BTECH’s U.S. support team and product focus on engineered radio solutions and accessories.
