Well, any 12V battery will power a KX3 [or KX1, KX2, K2, K3, K1, FT-817, 
etc].  Assuming a totally flat discharge curve, you can calculate for 
how long based on the TX and RX drains and the duty cycle.

The TalentCell appear to be Li-ion and they have a fairly flat discharge 
curve until nearly depleted.  The TalentCell site is more or less 
content-free in terms of quantitative specs, but it looks to be on the 
heavy side, probably more than a KX3. :-)
