[Elecraft] K3 battery power

[Steve Ellington]

Is anyone using full time battery power and trickle charging?
Considering the high price of power supplies and the security of a full time 
backup system, it would seem to make sense. The K3 draws so little current 
on receive that it would make sense to run it this way. I would be a bit 
concerned about gas from the battery however.
Currently I use an Astron 35m and I love it but I just bet that it consumes 
more power than the K3! Perhaps the battery/charger concept would be more 
efficient?
