1.5V recharchable AA cells for KX3?

[Petr, OK1RP/M0SIS]

Hi all,

did anybody tested these PURE ENERGY RAM cells AA size 1,5V / 3000mAh in
KX3?
I found in spec. that they are Alkaline-Manganese technology cells which are
not dedicated for permanent high current (over 1A) consumption equipment...

It is promising 12V instead of 9.6V in 8pcs pack. the only external charger
should be used as same as LiPol...

Thank for info.

I have not used them, however I looked at them and the discharge curve shows
a very steep drop in output voltage very early on in the discharge cycle
(15%).  Also having to remove them continually increases the potential to
damage the ribbon cable. so I choose to stick with Eneloops

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.
