[Elecraft] New Sanyo eneloops

[Matt Zilmer]

Eneloops hold a charge quite well.  I'm using them for various
wireless peripherals around the shack.

The Tenergy NiMH AA cells are also quite good and have a slightly
higher rated capacity.    I plan on using two sets of these for the
KX3.

NiMH in general is very cost effective compared to the higher price of
Lithium-based energy storage.
