[Elecraft] Battery for K1/KX1

[Bob Jones]

I recently found what appears to be an excellent battery for the KX1  
and K1 in the field:

It's a very compact lithium battery pack rated at 12V 3.5Ah - just a  
little smaller than the KX1 footprint.

I have not used it over many re-charge cycles yet, or measured its  
performance but it does give several hours' operation with the KX1 and  
is a great deal lighter and easier to carry than an SLA type. The  
charger that comes with it looks cheap but works. The battery itself  
is encased in a metal box with on/off switch. I don't notice any heat  
when it's being charged.

I have no commercial ties with the guy selling these on eBay and I  
take no responsibility if you buy one and have any problems. Mine  
works just fine and I thought it may be of interest to other QRP  
enthusiasts.
