[Elecraft] KX3 What Batteries/Quality Power Supply to Choose?

[Peter Lambert]

I'd recommend the sanyo 2500maH Pro "LSD" batteries - I think they're marked
as "XXX".  The 16 hour charge will ensure a full charge.  For me it often
trips out as an "over temp" once or twice before the charge completes.  This
is just the cells producing heat when they reach full capacity.  The "LSD"
bit is Low Sell Discharge - they hold the charge longer than typical NiMH
(this works for me as the KX3 can sit around a while before I take it
"bush".

Regards,
Peter VK4JD

Ordered a KX3 today and now need some help with what batteries that I need
to order.

 

As in larger size, exact type, brand, number on times they can be recharged
even best place to buy them. Is an external charger/conditioner needed or
helpful to have? Have never bought rechargeable batteries before so thought
I would turn to the group for input.

 

The same applies to a small quality power supply to supply the KX3's power.

 

Thanks to all in advance for your help.

 

73,
