[Elecraft] 4S lipo battery for KX3?

[MontyS]

I use an ANKER Astro3 10AH "battery charger" from Amazon.com and elsewhere. 
Be sure you look at the one with a switchable 9volt-12volt output.  It's 
designed to recharge phones and pads, but puts out 12.2 volts nicely.  Comes 
with a plethora of adapters.

I use a 4S2P 5200mah LiPo battery with my KX3.  It lets me run 10 watts for 
a long time.  I use the simple reducer in the “Articles” section of my 
website (www.ad5x.com) and just remove it when convenient when the 
KX3-monitored receive battery voltage drops below 14V.  You can expand on 
this by enclosing the reducer in a small box with a switch across the diodes 
so you can short the diodes without interrupting power to the radio when the 
reducer isn’t needed.
