I believe they are all BaoFeng UV-5R+/UV5R.

They were recommended for us when off roading to communicate between vehicles, but never seemed to work great at that.

Somewhere I think I still have the usb programming cable for them.

LOL, I’d suggest a USB power strip to keep them charged. If you really want to get rid of them something like a local Boy Scout troop maybe? Obviously they have issues, there might be some other outfit like a local ARRL group.
