Like a previous poster I've lost any faith I had in Xiegu because of this radio. I too have charging issues. After a full charge cycle the radio will only receive for about thirty minutes before the battery voltage drops so low it turns off. Even from a full charge the radio will not transmit due to excessive voltage sag. I've checked the cells and one of them has failed and refuses to hold a charge.

I contacted Radioddity EU and they suggested I look on Aliexpress. When I questioned this they replied that because I didn't purchase the radio from them they would not offer any support. I contacted Xiegu and received an auto reply and nothing more. I also contacted the UK importer and they didn't even reply.

In all three instances I emphasised that I wasn't after a freebie and that I was prepared to pay for a full battery assembly (two cells, BMS board, and rear panel). My radio uses the second version of the Battery assembly. This is where the two cells are stacked lengthways on the backplate, wrapped in blue hestdhrink, and fixed directly to the BMS board i.e the cells are not attached by wires and don't have there own little protection circuits as the earlier version did.
