[Elecraft] KX2 Batt

[Don Wilhelm]

Tony,

Lithium Ion is a different chemistry than li-po.
I would choose to be safe rather than sorry and buy both the battery and 
charger.
If you are going to be operating portable over a long weekend, consider 
a 2nd battery.

Yes, it can be powered from an external power source through the 2.1mm 
coaxial jack.  For best results, the power supply should have a voltage 
of 13.8 volts or more - up to 15 volts is OK.
BTW - the internal battery can plug into that jack as well.

73,
Don W3FPR
