[Elecraft] AA primary cell (K1 related) capacity planning

[Larry Cahoon]

At one point I was doing some direct comparisons of the NiMN and the 
alkaline batteries. These were mostly in the Rx mode over several days. 
They came out pretty much even with that type of use. So I'm convinced that 
with more TX time the NiMH are the way the go. You do have to make sure 
they are freshly charged. Let them sit for a couple of weeks and lose some 
of their advantage. The battery page is at 
http://www.wd3p.net/qrp/batteries/battery_index.htm

That page reflect my feeling on batteries in general. There are two links 
there to the actual results of the testing. There is also a link to AE5X's 
page there. He has also done some battery testing in the field.

If you go to my home page there is a link to what I did in the NA QSO party 
last January using a set of NiMH batteries - 200+ QSOs running 2 or 3 watts 
with a K1, K2, and a Sierra.
