[Elecraft] Max voltage for a KX1

[Fred Jensen]

Hi All,

I have acquired two loose 7.2V Li-Ion batteries, the result of the death 
of my Nikon Coolpix camera.  I replaced it, apparently fixing high tech 
stuff died with the TV Repair shops.  The batteries are just fine. 
Fully charged, they measure 7.45V each.  Can I series them to power my 
KX1?  That would be almost 15V, probably not for long, but at the start. 
  These guys weigh less than an 11.7V Li-Poly RC model battery, which 
would be good for me in the Spartan Sprints, more Q's/lb. I hate to 
throw them away.

73,
