Yes, we ran that combo while activating grids CM86 and CM79 using the 
20Ah Bioenne Power LiFePO4 batteries. I own one, W6JTI owns two. One of 
them got us through about 6 hours at CM79 running MSK144 and FT8, using 
the strategy of not calling CQ. Instead, I was nearby acting as pilot to 
Ping Jockey and the cluster system.

For nearly two years, I've been using a 100Ah Bioenne battery to run a 
pair of K3s for SO2R. Bionenne caters to the ham market, and is good to 
deal with.
