[Elecraft] Battery power for KX3

[Phil Hystad]

I have one of the 4 cell Buddipole Li nano-phospate batteries and it is great.  I use it with the KX1.  I have also used it for little things here and there such as testing the screwdriver antenna (powering the screwdriver motor) and other things.  It seems to deliver whatever power you need which is weird like some kind of Star Trek power source for the M5 computer.

The buddipole batteries are made by A123 Systems and you can buy them in a whole variety of systems.  Electric utility companies will buy a whole truck load of them (container actually) for emergency power, voltage control situations, and smoothing wind turbine power out.

But, buying these is a bit of an investment as the batteries are expensive and the charger is something you need to get too (unless you have one already).
