FNB-V131LI Battery Compatible for YAESU Vertex-Standard VX-230 VX-231 VX-234 VX-228 VX-228 VX-231L VX-234 1650mAh Li-ion Battery FNB-V132Li FNB-V131Li

Battery fits like it should. No problems with charging or staying charged. We use these at our church and have had zero issues with them.

Giving this one a 2 star only because I had to return the first one. The first one showed a trouble condition immediately when I put it in the charger. The replacement has been spot on so far. Seems like a common theme through out the reviews.

Four stars only because one unit out of the bunch we got showed a problem (flashing red light on charger, which usually indicates a bad battery -- old, swollen batteries would exhibit this behavior). I set that unit aside for a while, and it tested OK for now (2020). Hopefully, these units will have a good longevity. EDIT (2022): This has been our go-to brand, as they've typically lasted at least a couple of years. One unit from a subsequent purchase (8/2021, put into service 10/2021) went bad after only six months (charging light blinking red, but battery not swollen). Just noticing that there is no stated warranty period, but six months is too short. Leaving 4-star rating for now. EDIT 2 (3/2025): Fast-forward a few years, and these are still our preferred brand; however, we've recently had two out of a batch purchased and in-use over the last couple of years, where the top contacts on the battery (which connect to the radio itself) have collapsed, such that the battery will charge, but won't provide power to the radio (photo attached; scarring on the contacts are from my using a dental tool to attempt to realign the contacts into place). Since I don't know if the radios were dropped at some point to cause the misalignment of the contacts (quite possible), I'm not taking away any stars on my rating, but I'm just adding this information. EDIT 3 (8/2025) After being in storage over the summer, one of the two batteries I purchased back in March is showing as bad (flashing red light on the charging cradle). Even though it was outside the return window, Amazon was nice enough to initiate a return/replacement. BUT THEN, one battery unit that I had purchased in January also went bad. I still have several of this brand battery in use in our radio fleet, that are two-years-old or more. I'm hoping that these last two quick failures are just from a bad batch, but I'm dropping the rating to three stars.

Perfect match for our old radios

The product fit perfectly for the model of radio listed quickly charged exceeded expectation for the price

Great
