Honestly, I use my baofeng mobile all the time just on battery power.
Sure, I have to disconnect it from the antenna and bring it into the house, but it's a lot easier to isolate it from the car's electrical system noise when it's not charging in the car. (Plus I only have to charge it ~once a week)
I have a car charger for it, and whenever I use that charger you get a bunch of noise from the 12v system. Cars are just really dirty electrically-speaking.
Honestly though, I'm really looking into spending the money for an actual Mobile rig. The low-wattage of the handhelds is really limiting, and you're gonna have to have an external antenna anyway. Buying something that'll work better from the start is a wise investment. A mobile rig is a good in-between, because you can use it from the car, or hook it up to a 12v power source at home (old computer PSU?).

Dual-band DMR HTs are just starting to come out now, and monoband radios like the CS-750 have highly-configurable 5-tone encode/decode. All of them work on analogue, so a DMR HT might be a good future option.
Though monoband, the TYT TH-9000 is a very affordable full-powered mobile that also has a pretty configurable 5-tone capability.
There are other cheap Chinese dual-band HTs with 5-tone, like the Weierwei VEV-V16 -- which also has MSK. The soon-to-be-released Anytone [OBLTR-8R] (https://anytonetech.com/OBLTR-8R) will also have 5-tone.
