[Elecraft] Kx3

[Mark Petiford]

IMHO, Sanyo Eneloop 2000 cells are the best value out there.  They work well and are Low Self Discharge (LSD) cells.  They are available at Costco, or on-line from various Amazon suppliers.  Sanyo really got the chemistry right, and I highly recommend them along with the KXBC3, especially if this is your first experience with NiMH cells.  IMHO, the higher capacity non-LSD cells simply aren't worth the trouble of trying to keep them charged.

Simply put, the Eneloops work good and last a long time.  I have beat them up in home use for several years now, and they are great so long as you don't run them below about 0.9v/cell.  The KX3 will make sure that doesn't happen.

Hope this helps.
