[Elecraft] KX1 7.2V. Performance?

Thu Dec 11 11:37:09 2003

Looking at the Eveready technical specs it appears that under the KX1 =
current drain the lithium cells will output 2800 maH before dropping =
below 1.25 volts. The NiMH cells will output about 1200 mAH before =
dropping to 1.25 volts.=20

No way they will last as long as Lithiums.

Don't know about your KX1, but mine does less than two watts on internal =

Lithiums, not >3.  And based on experience (I maintain 24 NiMH batteries =

for various apps and use Li cells for GPSRs and other apps)  -- and=20
specs  -- the Lithiums will far outlast the NiMH in the KX1.
