Hi Jim,
My KX3 set up is similar with a couple of added items.  I have the LiFePO4 12V 9.9 AH battery, the LFP Battery Smart charger, and a Mercury 27 watt fold-able solar panel with both 12 VDC and USB 5V ports.  The solar panel keeps the battery charged and the USB for any accessories.....  FUNNNN.
Mel, K6KBE

I have a set of 2.8 Ah NiMH cells in my KX3, which has the recharging 
module.

I also bought one of these 12V - 20Ah units for longer operating 
periods. LiFEPO4 is the preferred battery chemistry, and this particular 
model has the lightest weight I've found. I paid about $250 for battery 
and charger w/tax and shipping.
