[Elecraft] Internal AAA batteries for KX1?

[Michael Babineau]

I saw a posting yesterday on QRP-L where someone saw AAA Lithium 
batteries
for sale so I went to the Energizer.com site and sure enough it looks 
like
Eveready is now manufacturing a 1250 mah AAA Lithium cell.

This got me to thinking about how great it would be if Elecraft offered
an alternative bottom cover for the KX1 that had 2 X 4 AAA holders 
giving
12+ V instead of 10V with the 2 X 3 AAs.

I bet that these new AAA lithiums would be good for about 10 hours of
operating, which is a lot.  Heck, maybe you could squeeze in 9 AAAs.
I often use an external 10 AA Nimh pack to get the extra power out
but this can be inconvenient with such a small rig especially when
operating Pedestrian Mobile.

I for one would pay for a second case bottom for my KX1 that allowed me
to use AAA cells rather than AAs. It would be nice to have the
option to use either battery type depending on the circumstances.

P.S. I suppose I could see if Elecraft would sell me another bottom
for the KX1 and I could purchase AAA holders from Mouser or
someplace else and wire up my own.
