This 700mAh 6V NI-MH battery is specifically designed to be compatible with Midland GXT-450 models and replaces the original BATT-5R battery perfectly. Now, important note - this is an UpStart Battery brand replacement, not an OEM Midland product, but it's engineered to the same specifications and typically costs significantly less than buying directly from the manufacturer. The 700mAh capacity gives you plenty of talk time for outdoor adventures, construction sites, events, or emergency preparedness use. Installation is straightforward - just make sure your radio is turned off, remove the old battery, and snap this new one into place. It should fit exactly like the original without any modification needed. The battery chemistry (NI-MH) is stable and reliable, with good performance across various temperature conditions you might encounter during outdoor use. UpStart Battery has been making quality replacement batteries since 2013, so they've got plenty of experience creating reliable power solutions for various electronics. While this isn't covered by Midland's warranty, UpStart provides their own warranty coverage for peace of mind. Before ordering, double-check that your specific radio model is listed in the compatibility information to ensure proper fit. Many users find that these third-party batteries actually perform as well as or sometimes even better than the originals, especially if their old battery was several years old. Whether you're replacing a worn-out battery or just want a spare for extended trips, this is an affordable way to keep your Midland radios operational and reliable. Just remember to fully charge it before first use and follow proper battery maintenance practices for longest life.
