Excellent USB charge cable for Baofeng 3800 mAh power plug
Plugged in a high quality usb wall charger, then this cable to the Baofeng BL-5L power plug opening. Fit nicely, not loose and in solid. Measured battery voltage prior to trying cable. Then set timer for 10 minutes after plugging in. Watched measured voltage climb as battery charged thru cable. Purchased 4 of these excellent cables and all performed flawlessly. One mention though, you can monitor with radio on while charging, however, DO NOT TRY TRANSMITTING! The voltage will backtrack thru the cable and overload your USB wall plug. Fortunately, my USB wall charger has internal surge protection. The minute I transmitted with charge cable inline, the protected green light on USB wall charger went off. It cut the signal as it should have. Unplugged from wall outlet and waited 1 min for it to reset, which it did. Went into charge mode, after 10 minutes, I turned on radio and hit the transmit, cut the power again. Apparently, you cannot "use" the radio in transmit while charging with this cable. It is not a power supply but a charging cable. Well made and the light on top works 100%. Green when plugged into USB charge device, Red while charging radio, green when complete. Must have excellent wiring internally. I fully charged a new BL-5L, which ships usually 1/3 charged. It topped off the 3800 mAh to full charge in less than 1 hour. Very impressive 8.48 volts when finished, after letting it sit for 10 min before measuring voltage. Never got warm to the touch either. Glad I purchased 4 of them while available.

High RF and Fiddly connector
While charging the radio, the cable produces a lot of RF and the connector has to be in just right for it to work. fixed the connector by bending the centre pins in a little but the RF is going to take a bit more work. i do not recommend this cable, it needs RF shielding around the usb housing with a capacitor to filter out the noise on the 10v side

It's a cable, not much to say. It works.
I like to convenience of plugging directly into the radio. Eliminates the need for charging stand. Using it on my larger battery.
