If Elecraft can make a lithium ion battery for the kx2, Can they make a retrofit for the KX3? Please Please!It would lighten up the package and extend run times and overall be so much better than the AA battery pack!

Completely agree, I'd love the upgraded battery option if it's possible
within the constraints of the KX3 HW. There also looked to be some software
functionality like RTC adjustment and amp-hour display that would be cool
to have in the KX3, as well.

Have you considered using either 18650 or 14500 lithium ion batteries?  
They are rated at 3.7 volts, but I find when charged, they are typically
about 4.2 volts.
Three of them will be a bit over 12 volts.  I have 18650 cells that are
9800 mAh each.  There is another cell that is shorter, but I can't
remember it's nomenclature.
