[Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

[Fred Jensen]

I follow the dictum, "Never put anything with 'Li' in its name inside 
the radio."  I've always charged all of them outside, even though 
LiFePO4 are pretty stable.  Had an LiPoly RC battert burst into flames 
once while on the deck in the Spartan Sprint with the KX1.  It was on a 
pigtail, I flung it down onto the gravel driveway, wife said as it 
snapped, crackled, and popped, "Should we get the hose?".  I replied, 
"Ummm ...no."
