The 3 batteries are good for the money but, one of the batteries will not take a full charge. But I still have two good batteries to go with. Would I buy this? yep. bat at 90% is still better then 2%......

There is so much baloney on the web about batteries for the FT-60. I've researched the topic a bit and found some answers that satisfied me. First, if your FT-60 was made before 2013 it came with a wall charger and that meant the battery had to be in the radio to be charged. Second, in 2013, thanks to a California law, Yaesu removed the ability to charge the battery through the radio but still allowed the radio to be powered via a 12Volt source (by the cig lighter or a power supply). The 2013 FT-60 came with a desktop charger and that is the way you charge the batteries; and is the only way you can charge them. They can be on or off the radio while charging. Third, the little prong-thing inside the radio that contacts the lowest battery isn't of any use in the 2013 and newer FT60s. The battery packs don't have to have a sliver of plastic removed anymore (unless you have a pre-2013 FT-60 that charges them the old way). Four, regardless, any FT-60 from 2004 thru 2022 can charge in the desktop charger. This goes for the VX-150 and other too. Fifth, some people who buy rechargeable batterie don't realize they should be charged before using them the first time. Please don't blame the battery or the manufacturer for this.These 7.2V 1800mAh Ni-MH Battery Pack Compatible for Yaesu Vertex FNB-V94 are good batteries and they give you 200mah more than the standard battery. NiMH is good enough and I think Li-Ion is overkill but that's just me. 73

There are FOUR battteries for what I would have considered as the cost for only one. They hold their charge well. (They show less voltage than a fully charged OEM battery which came with the HT, but they hold that voltage for longer than the equivalent OEM battery did.)Fit perfectly - they look just like the OEM battery pack in fact! (Label is the only difference.)

After fully charging these 1800mah batteries, I left radio on. Each of them lasted 19 hr, 24 hr, 18 hr respectively. After recharging one fully depleted battery, it lasted 23 hr. As comparison, my 5 yr old OEM 1400 ahm lasted 48hr consistently. Well. I expect 1400 ahm lasts 72 hours and 1800 ahm lasts 96 hrs in standby mode. These 1800 ahm new batteries lasts less than half of my old 1400 ahm battery. It is a joke. i guess I will pay $36 to get a OEM 1400 ahm battery.

Fit and finish very good , charged one up and did a load test using a 1.4 amp draw and the voltage measured 7.90 volts . Longevity hard to estimate I would hope 200 charge cycles.

The battery are value for the price and work great

They discharge rapidly after a few full power transmits on the FT-60 YAESU HT
