- Found this great way to charge your Yaesu VX-6R or other Yaesu handheld radios using a single USB C cable. The cable is specifically designed to ONLY output 12V or less to your device unlike some that can go over and damage or destroy your radio.
This is a great addition to your comms gear or emergency bag(s) so you can charge your Yaesu HT during an emergency.
** Warning: Always check the output voltage before using this cable on your Yaesu handheld radio. It is safer to use the USB C Power Meter for peace of mind **
USB C Power Meter:
amzn.to/41d8EPS
USB C 12V USB C to 4.0 x 1.7mm DC Power Cable:
amzn.to/3GB7uEA
Microsoft Surface USB C Charging Cable:

Over 12 volts won't hurt anything. You can run the radio in your car from a cigarette lighter (without your thingy) and that provides 13.8 from your alternator. Straight from the VX-6 user manual:
Most radios allow up to 16 volts without damage. These connectors charge some Icom radios too. My IC-T8E & V85 charge nicely with it.
The VX6 can take 6-16 VDC input so it’s pretty tolerant. One more reason to love it.
How do you get 12 volts out of a USB power brick. Isn't USB 5 volts?
I wanted to get this junk my friend who only has the Kenwood f6h. Will it work on that?
aww power meter already sold out!
Have you tried this with the cradle?
what is lisen usb adapter watts out. there are several available on amazon. need one for 12v socket on auto.
Have a link for power banks used in video? Thanks!
Thank you, this is excellent

Bought for my vx-6r, thanks guy

Just curious, im looking at the vx-6r, what was the charge time for that?
Man this would be awesome if I could connect this from a battery pack to the charging station on my yaesu ft-4xr
Awesome! Where’d you get the cable?
