The UV-9R Pro takes batteries that have a USB-C charging port on the back. I have a couple I setup as my disaster radios because of that and them being water proof(ish, better than other models at least). Programmed them with the local repeaters, weather channel, and the 2m and 70cm simplex calling frequencies plus whatever the default channel setup was.
i have a couple usb-c and though they are better than the previous baofeng, they still don't scale very well, and the battery cells now cost more and are less reliable.
