[Elecraft] KX3 Please evaluate LiFePo4 battery/charger choice

[Esquer Dave]

Hello Arno,

I just picked up 2 of these 13.2v, 4200mAh LiFePo batteries from HobbyKing. So far, they are working great. I retired my SLA 12v, 5Ah battery too. Twice the amp-hours at 1/2 the weight. They run at 13.2 volts, so portable I can run the 12 watts for a bit.

They are in the US Warehouse too, no shipping from China.

This guy turned me onto them:

At $46.00 each, a good deal in my pocketbook!
