[Elecraft] KX3 Please evaluate LiFePo4 battery/charger choice

[Gwen Patton]

I've got a Talentcell 12Ah LiFePO4 that seems to work just fine. I have
some of their other little power banks, and they work great too.

But I'm trying to concentrate on my USB-C PD power bank solution for the
time being, to get some additional testing time in on it. I've expanded the
testing to Qualcomm Quick-Charge 12v 1.5A testing as well. There's plenty
of PCBs and prebuilt cables out there now to do it easily and cheaply, and
the power banks are ubiquitous and inexpensive. And they can recharge your
phone, your tablet, and whatever other USB gear you have. (I have a few
USB-charged flashlights, my Bluetooth bone-conduction headset, my Bluetooth
speaker, a little Bluetooth transmitter I can plug into my radio, so I can
listen to it on said headset,and my 70cm Baofeng T1 Mini is also charged
via USB. So I have significant reason to standardize on USB power.)

Recently I got a killer USB-C and DC power bank, the Omnicharge Ultimate.
It's 38.4 Ah, and provides USB-C, limited AC 120V, and a DC line that can
be set for anything from 5v to 60v at various current levels. Weighs about
4 pounds and is a magnificent gadget that'll power just about anything I
need to power. I could even recharge the Chromebook I use for my MDS 40m
Phaser digimode transceiver...and power the Phaser as well! Prime Day on
Amazon gave me a deep discount on it.
