[Elecraft] [KX1] A LiFePO4 internal battery option

[Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU]

Those are 6.6v, so I guess you use a pair?

I've been using LiFePO4 in a lot of things, but haven't seen these that fit
in the KX1.  At 700mAH they're a bit small, but the constant operating
voltage is nice.

You might take a look at these, which are available at Fry's and Amazon:

At 1.8v charged you get almost 11v out of 6 of them in the existing AA
slots.  Of course, you have to remove them to charge. The self discharge
isn't as good as LiFePO4 but it's not bad either.
