Battery Operation of KX3

w7hd
I am using a Power Bank model MP-16000 Lithium Polymer battery to run
the KX3.  This appears to now be furnished by Maxtron as the MX160A
power bank at $128 on Amazon.   It is lightweight (1.1 lbs) and is about
the size of a paperback book.

Last night I ran the KX3 with backlight on for 3.5 hrs and only used
about 15-20% of its capacity on the 12v output, so I would expect to get
about 4-5 days of use at that rate!  It fully recharged in about 1-1/2
hours.   It puts out 12v at 5 amps.  The supplied adapter cable for
using the various connectors exactly fits the KX3 with no adapter
needing to be used.  It can also charge your USB device at 2.4A at the
same time.  The output is switch selectable for 12/16/19v.
