[Elecraft] Solar power?

[John Sager]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } I am using the Buddipole 4S2P 5Ah battery (fairly expensive at $165 when compared to others like Bioenno, etc.) along with the Genasun MPPT controller ($99) with my 35 watt portable solar panel.  The whole system runs my KX3 all day at 10 watts even when the sun doesn't cooperate fully.  Highly recommended. I tried other solar controllers that didn't work as well as the Genasun.  As someone else said recently "buy nice or buy twice."Hope that helps.

My son has my KX3 and I'm building a K2. Both of us have a set of solar panel that are capable of a lil over an amp at 12v 

We are both looking for a battery idea and a method of hooking it to the solar panels to charge it .

Thank you
