[Elecraft] KX3 batteries

[Walter Underwood]

That may be, though the discharge curves on the data sheets seem very similar. Note that the two data sheets use different discharge rates, like 2000 mAh vs 2500 mAh. They both have the same specs for "Internal Impedance (after discharge to E.V.=1.0V)”: Approx. 25mΩ(at 1KHz). I have to admit that I have no idea what that means.

These are for the latest generation of each.

In my experience, using both of them sequentially, the KX3 went more quickly to the enforced 5 watt maximum output with the Eneloop Pro cells compared to the standard Eneloop, despite the higher ultimate capacity of the Eneloop Pro. But, YMMV!
