Midland BATT5R over discreet NM-hi
After my 2nd time replacing the BATT5R battery pack in my radios, I went with discreet Energized NM-hi and then Duracell NM-hi. Both were disappointing. I e gone back to the OE BATT5R battery pack and am happier. It appears the 1.2v cell ratings of the discreet cells were impacting the overall voltage required, primarily during transmit loading when the battery capacity would suffer.

Excellent charger. More info than most k ow what to do with.
I bought this charger to supplement an older, 2 bay Nitecore charger since the # of rechargeable batteries in my home has increased. In addition to the extra charging bays, this charger provides the internal resistance value of the battery in each bay as well as more typical info such as voltage, charging current and time on charge. The resistance reading may be a bit unsettling to some who do not understand the variance between cells but it can be used to aide in assessing cell health. Additionally, I like that this charger is powered via a USB cable such that you can use standard cell phone style chargers as well as solar chargers designed for your phone. I find that extremely handy if your an outdoorsman or lose power with no other backup.

Midland GXT1050
I have 1 older pair of these radios and purchased a 2nd pair because of their usefulness. My wife's 95 y/o father has 1 pair so he can always have 1 with him and his walker and the other in the charger at all times in the in-laws quarters. Of the new pair, 1 is in the main house and the other is in my workshop. They work great on our 6.3 acres. Be aware:
1) the OE battery packs typically need to be replaced about every 2-3 years. I tried aftermarket Li batteries but went back to the OE packs.
2) for longer distance at higher power, you may need to use the GMRS channels which require an FCC license. Otherwise, the FRS channels work well but at reduced range, no license required.
