Hello,
I was surprised to see the package showing up in Northboro, MA and the Delivery Date revised to Wednesday Nov 21 when I awoke on Monday. It changed again this morning as overnight the package was delivered to my local Post Office and the Delivery Date was revised again to today. The USPS delivered the package in the late morning and I got my battery!
The battery is charging. I was slightly concerned that the battery and cover would be too big, but I find the scanner still fits well in my hand.

I charged my new battery today, for about about 5hrs or a little more, till the light was green, and it showed 4.2v on the display, and the charge was done powered off. Took it off charge at 4:53PM, and it just went dead at 12:43AM, so almost 8hrs, not bad, not bad at all.

My battery arrived this morning at 6:47am by USPS unscheduled delivery, several days earlier than promised. Nice stable base when installed in the radio - an improvement.
Thank you Uniden and Upman for stepping up to make things right.

I received my new battery and cover today. All is good, including a very nice fit with Uniden's nylon case. Than you, UPMan and Uniden!

Typically, yes. LiPO batteries shouldn't be discharged below 20% capacity.
So what would be 20% of the bigger battery's capacity?
Would I take 5400 mah x .20% =1,080. Then 5400-1,080=4320?
Yes but the scanner displays VOLTS and turns off at 3.2 VOLTS
BUT... the default voltage warning value is above 3.20 volts. So is setting the shutdown voltage @ 3 20 volts a bad idea vs the default? 80% of 3.7 volts is .74 volts.

Got 8 hours 36 minutes out of a full charge. Monitoring 4 conventional and 2 p-25 systems display on 50%. Pretty happy with the battery so far.
Its funny how people how come down to splitting hairs about their cheap chinese made battery that cost pennies to make and not letting it run bone dry.
