I recently found what appears to be an excellent battery for the KX1
and K1 in the field:
It's a very compact lithium battery pack rated at 12V 3.5Ah - just a
little smaller than the KX1 footprint.
I have not used it over many re-charge cycles yet, or measured its
performance but it does give several hours' operation with the KX1 and
is a great deal lighter and easier to carry than an SLA type. The
charger that comes with it looks cheap but works. The battery itself
is encased in a metal box with on/off switch. I don't notice any heat
when it's being charged.
I have no commercial ties with the guy selling these on eBay and I
take no responsibility if you buy one and have any problems. Mine
works just fine and I thought it may be of interest to other QRP
enthusiasts.
