[Elecraft] Comparing SLAs

[Scott Richardson]

I used a 5Ah Powersonic PS-1250 gel cell to power my K1 for a few years 
before it faded. In shopping for a replacement, I find they're about $25, 
while another battery with the same dimensions and capacity made by Rhino 
sells for $8.

I'm assuming the Powersonic is a better battery, but I don't mind a small 
reduction in performance if I can get 3 batteries for the price of 1. Is 
this a "smart" savings?
