Batteries for NPOTA Activation with KX3

Mark Tosiello
Hi,

I'm planning an NPOTA activation using my KX3 on SSB and CW, running max
output without an amplifier. My antenna will be an inverted V at 30', and
I'd like recommendations for a battery technology and brand, assuming I
don't use the internal batteries (I think I would rather not).

I'm looking for something that will work with a KX3 as well as an IC-706
MKIIG. Ideally, I'd like to get several hours out of it if possible, but I
do know that that's hard to say based on number of contacts and SSB/CW.

What's the best method of making a connection from said batteries to the
KX3? I suppose powerpoles to the standard KX3 connector would be idieal....

Anyway, thanks so much!
