I agree Stephen! I only bought the KBT2-X (that's the kit w/o the
battery) and used a 2.3 AH battery as that was the largest capacity I
could find in the UK that would fit (Yuasa from memory, although I am
now on my 2nd battery and can't recall the typle).

What ruins these batteries is being completely discharged, keeping them
fully charged shouldn't be a problem. Just don't expect too much from
the battery and replace it from time to time.

----------------------
To buy a replacement from Elecraft and then pay for the 1kg battery to be
shipped from CA to the UK is crazy. I'd be grateful for any pointers from
UK readers!

Thanks and 73
