[Elecraft] 1.5V recharchable AA cells for KX3?

[Mark Goldberg]

Amazon reviews are not good for similar cells of the same brand, lots of
references to them popping and leaking chemicals out, sometimes even with
the supposed right charger. They also are reported to lose capacity quickly
with a few discharge cycles. I also expect that 3000 mAh is an
exaggeration.  I would not risk my expensive radio with them.

I just use external 4 cell LiFePO4 packs, still going strong after may
years and discharge cycles. Voltage holds up throughout the discharge cycle.
