They will work fine with the K1. I use a set of MAHA 2700 mah batteries in
mine almost every weekend.

Here is a little chart I made up and laminated to stick on the K1 which
shows the most efficient Power Output vs. Battery Voltage. Keep tabs on your
battery voltage with the built-in voltmeter and adjust power accordingly.

V       Po
8.0     2.6
8.5     2.9
9.0     3.2
9.5     3.6
10.0    4.0
10.5    4.4
11.0    4.8
11.5    5.3
12.0    5.8
12.5    6.3
13.0    6.8
13.5    7.3

To all..... I ordered 8 rechargable batteries from ZBattery at a good price.

I have stayed away from rechargable batteries because of the 1.2 volts per
AA battery. However these are the high capacity batteries <<2450 amp hr.>>
What do you think for my K1? At 9.6 volts I am not sure what power output I
will have... If it doesn't work out for the K1 I can always use them in my
dig. camera!
