[Elecraft] KX1 battery

[gehringc at charter.net]

"Does anyone of you have experience charging Ni-Mh cells in the KX1? I have 2400 mA/h cells installed and if I am right, a 33 Ohm resistor accross D3,> would charge these cells in app. 10 hours."


I saw Paul W0RW's post awhile ago about his Ni-CAd battery mod.  I don't know or understand very much about the actual theory behind rechargable batteries.  It is my understanding that Ni-Mh maintain a higher voltage for a longer period without the memory of Ni-CAD. 

It would seem that having Ni-Mh would be a more practical option for power as compared to the standard Ni-CAD option.
