[Elecraft] Operating KX3/KXPA100 on LiPO3 batteries??

[Clay Autery]

Bioenno folks are awesome, too.  Not as cool as Elecraft, but close.

Unsolicited Suggestion Warning:  Put a switch inline on the AC power 
cord to the charger....  Personally, I am going to replace the cord with 
a longer cord with an inline toggle switch.

Or get the West Mountain box designed to power the radio and use Bioenno 
batteries as backup/alt.

The first issue was, I wanted a light battery to power a 100W radio, and first ordered a 15 Ah model, based on the website description that it could supply 30A continuous. When the battery arrived, its label indicated a much smaller continuous output capability. Bioenno acknowledged that the website was wrong, and arranged for me to trade up to the 20 Ah model. They said I could try the 15 Ah battery in actual operation before deciding to send it back. I did, and it did no do well at 100W rf out. Once I was set up with the 20 Ah model, I left it on the special charger for weeks between uses. The charger automatically stops charging at full charge, which is indicated by a red/green LED. However, one day I noticed the LED was dark. The charger had died. Bioenno quickly replaced it at no cost. I asked them if
