ArdRhi Looking at the comments, and reading deeper in the sales documents, I'm assuming someone jumped the gun by saying it'd come with a battery. In reality, my guess is that there are too many extremely onerous regulations regarding the shipping of lithium-ion batteries by air for it to be cost-effective to include them. (I do NOT work for them, I'm a customer too, no, I can't solve this problem, don't ask me.) Just the USA alone has massive limitations on lithium batteries being shipped in products. The box needs special labeling and warning stickers, and I believe there are other restrictions on the size of the battery and such. The concern is that changes in air pressure from air travel can cause these batteries to deform and catch fire or even explode, particularly when the battery in question is of dubious manufacture. It's much safer to not ship something like this with a battery. If you are buying this radio on the basis of it using and coming with a battery, I'd suggest some more searching for an affordable radio. That's a dubious feature to base a purchase on.

ArdRhi Did you select the set you wanted from the list? That's Set #1. The sets are listed in the description, and there's a choice to select the one you want on the button. It defaults to set 1.

ArdRhi Get the programming cable for it, and use CHIRP, a free program, to program it with matching frequencies for your other Baofengs. In the US, you can use this as a Family Radio Service device without a license, or as a regular amateur radio handheld WITH a license. You don't "pair" them, you program them to be on the same frequency. I assume you do not have a license, or you would know these things already, as getting a license means study of the principles.

ArdRhi Because they're being silly and trying to make a bog-standard LED floodlight look like something special. They fail worse because why would "Lodine" be used in a light? Another similar lamp says "Iodine" instead, which sort of makes sense, as in halogen lights, but these are just LEDs. Perhaps "Iodine-Tungsten" is the brand name, just to be deceptive? I would not put these outdoors unless they were in a case. This looks far too exposed, with the wires just soldered to the board at one end.
