[Elecraft] Battery requirements for NPOTA activation with KX3/KXPA100

[lstavenhagen]

I've looked at this too, given that I'm /P almost 100% of the time now and
have considered various QRO options. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a QRO
solution that doesn't involve something semi-permanently mounted in my
truck. Either a deep-cycle AGM or a high capacity LiFEPO4 in the spare
battery tray under the hood with long heavy cables is about the best I've
been able to come up with.

If I keep it at 10 watts or less, though, I can actually carry it a short
distance (and of course its easily transportable in the vehicle). My K3 and
K3S, for instance, will run a good 4 or 5 hours on my 9AH AGM batt, though
less than that with a lot of transmitting. The K2 would run all day on the
same batt....

So that might be required in your case too? Eg. a YellowTop 12V deep cycle
in the vehicle or an equivalent LiFE 12V... Sorry, I know that's not much
help, but I'm kind of in the same boat hi hi.
