[Elecraft] KX3 Suggested External Battery

[Jim Brown]

Hi Dave,

Most batteries from this company and all from Bioenno Power include the 
electronics to balance charge between the cells. For Battery Space, 
study the poop sheet for the battery you're looking at to confirm that 
it's there. LiFePO4 batteries need specially designed chargers, and both 
companies will sell you one if you want it.  Both also sell chargers for 
use with solar panels. I strongly recommend the Genasun charge 
regulators, which are RF quiet. Buy them direct from Genasun for the 
lowest price.
