[Elecraft] Need suggestion for K1 external rechargeable battery

[Mike WA8BXN]

George, 
 
I think more information is needed. How long do you want to be able to run
the K1 before recharging? What is your transmit to receive time ration? How
important is having a battery that fits in the radio? How many times per
year will you really be using the radio with the battery for power? 
 
 
It could be that non-rechargeable batteries are your best choice.

I have been powering my K1 with a 15 AH battery that I had on hand. Much too
heavy for a back pack HI! I'm looking for a small, light weight,
rechargeable battery. What AH battery should I be looking for if operating
at 5W? Any suggestions?
