[Elecraft] AA lithium batteries & K2...

[Bill NY9H]

I am always looking at alternative ways to haul my k2/pelican around....
I have been using the internal battery, & tuner qrp 15 watts...

However, last trip on a boat, I encountered a guy with a 706 and the small 
MFJ switcher PS.  He DID have AC available,,,, and with questionable band 
conditions, and when we could operate (ship's facilities available)  the 
choice was easy USE THE POWER.

This has me examining how to Pelicanize my portable setup.
Maybe I will go with the k2/100 kat100. I loose only the battery, which 
these little Tadiran Batteries could supply at SMALL SPACE cost.(for qrp op 
only).
I will have the added space requirement for the kat100+MFJ+battpak, less 
the present small switcher PS for recharging. I think this pile will fit in 
my current Pelican....I wonder about charging those Tadirans.
Am I missing something....
