BAOFENG Six Way Charger Desktop Charger Base for UV-9G and UV-9R

In this review the BAOFENG six-way desktop charger is evaluated for teams and hobbyists who need to charge multiple Baofeng radios from a single outlet. The bottom line: it is a practical space-saving solution that reliably charges up to six radios or BL-9 batteries at once, and it stands out because of its compact footprint and built-in power switch. For anyone managing several UV-9G, GT-3WP, UV-9R or UV-9R PLUS handsets, the charger simplifies rotation and reduces clutter without sacrificing basic safety protections.

Key Features

• Space Saving: One desktop six-way charger uses a single outlet to charge six radios, freeing up outlets and desk space for other equipment.
• Charging Protection: Each pocket supplies 500mA at DC 8.4V with safeguards against overcharge, overvoltage, and short circuits for routine safe charging.
• Model Compatibility: Designed to work with Baofeng UV-9G, GT-3WP, UV-9R and UV-9R PLUS radios and BL-9 batteries, allowing mixed radio or battery charging.
• Fast Full Charge: A BL-9 1800mAh battery reaches a full charge in roughly 3-4 hours, making it useful for daily rotation and quick turnaround.
• On/Off Power Switch: The side-mounted power switch lets you cut power without unplugging the adapter, which is convenient for desktop use and reduces wear on the outlet.

Who It's For

The charger is best for small teams, event staff, or ham radio operators who maintain several UV-9 series radios and want a compact, orderly charging solution. It fits operations where radios are rotated through shifts or where a central charging station reduces lost or partly charged batteries.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need rapid single-device fast-charging beyond 500mA per port or those with radio models not listed as compatible; this base is intended specifically for the listed Baofeng models and BL-9 battery form factor.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Charges up to six radios or batteries from one outlet, significantly reducing clutter.
• Built-in protections and a modest 500mA per pocket current offer safe, consistent charging.
• Side power switch adds convenience for leaving the unit on the desk without unplugging.

Cons

• Maximum charge current is 500mA per pocket, so it is not optimized for very rapid charging beyond the specified BL-9 3-4 hour full charge time.
