The after market ones can be hit or miss. I have an Expert Power (China) pack, 8 years now and it has been great. It alternates with my second Yaesu pack.?
Its label says FNB-83H but no Yaesu or Vertex markings. It is 1650mAh rather than 1400 as the original is.?

My FT-60 and two FNB-38 Ni-MH batteries are about 5 years old.? Don't use the radio much, situation changed, likely will be using it regularly.
For past several months, the batteries have been sitting in their desktop chargers.? Today when I put the batteries on the FT-60, they show 7.2 VDC, then, after 3-4 transmissions on low power, the display starts flashing and battery voltage checks at/below 6.2 VDC
I have the battery tray that enables me to put 6 AA batteries on the FT60, operates fine with the AA batteries.
I guess I ruined the two Ni-MH batteries by leaving them sitting in the charger for months?
