[Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

[Walter Underwood]

No, the Amazon Basics batteries are not the same as the Eneloop Pro. For one thing, they are 2400 mAh instead of 2550 mAh. The best bet is that Amazon Basics batteries are the previous version of Eneloops, made in the old factory. But that is a guess.

Personally, I’m not interested in saving $13 on batteries for a thousand dollar radio. Spend the full $32 for Eneloop Pro.

Use these:
