Battery latch flaw.
I received this radio as a Christmas gift by request. I already own several UV-5 models and an extended battery. The extended battery latches just fine in the UV-5 models, however it will not latch in the BTECH UV-5X3. If you examine the radios side by side, it is apparent the latches are not identical in position. One of the regular sized batteries from the UV-5 was able to latch when high pressure was applied to it. The battery the came with the 5X3 latched just fine. If you purchase this radio with the idea that all the parts are interchangeable, you had better check it as soon as you get it. I've seen similar complaints about this issue in other forums. There have also been complaints about the reception on 220, however that has not been my experience. If you own this radio and have the extended battery, see if it latches and comment under this review. I'd be sincerely interested in the result.
