IIRC, the Eneloop Pro has fewer recharge cycles than do the regular

The FAA rules on taking batteries on airplanes can be found in the
document "Batteries Carried by Airline Passengers: Frequently Asked Questions" at www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/Airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf "Lithium ion batteries (a.k.a.: rechargeable lithium, lithium polymer, LIPO, secondary lithium). Passengers may carry all consumer-sized lithium ion batteries (up to 100 watt hours per battery). This size covers AA, AAA, cell phone, PDA, camera, camcorder, handheld game, tablet, portable drill, and standard laptop computer batteries. The watt hours (Wh) rating is marked on newer lithium ion batteries and is explained in #3 below. External chargers are also considered to be a battery. With airline approval, devices can contain larger lithium ion batteries (101-160 watt hours per battery), but spares of this size are limited to two batteries in carry-on baggage only. This size covers the largest aftermarket extended-life laptop batteries and most lithium ion batteries for professional-grade audio/visual equipment." Last month, I took a KX3 to Sint Maarten (PJ7). My battery was a Bioenno 6AH, equivalent to 72 watt hours. It worked like a charm! You need to check with your airline, as some -- but not all -- airlines will allow you to take a battery as large as 160Wh. The larger Bioenno's (9AH and up) are over 100 Wh Bioenno has listings on their website of recommended batteries for most commonly available rigs, based on your duty cycle. 73, Eric W3DQ -------------- Jim Brown wrote: Yes. This ham-friendly company sells a wide range of LiFePO4 batteries. Charge before you leave home (all Li batteries require a charger designed for their specific chemistry, voltage, and capacity), connect to your KX2/3 external power jack. Choose the capacity/weight that suits your planned use. $50 will get you 3Ah that weighs 13 oz; add $15 for the charger. A 6Ah battery goes for $80, approximately twice the weight. I paid about $195 for a 20Ah battery that weighs 5.4#, +$20 for a faster charger. https://www.bioennopower.com/collections/12v-series-lifepo4-batteries 73, Jim K9YC J ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
I've brought the 3 Ah ones on aircraft multiple times and had no issues. I
brought a copy of the UN safety certification that I got from the battery company but have never been asked for it. The batteries did save me from having my bag checked once though. I put my bag in the overhead. Someone else came by and moved my bag trying to get theirs in the overhead and the overhead would not close. The flight attendant, not knowing what happened wanted to check my bag. I stated it had lithium batteries in it and she checked the bag belonging to the person that moved my bag. I didn't have to argue at all. Karma! LiFePO4 batteries are also safer than other Lithiums, but they seem to be treated the same by the airlines and shipping companies. 73, Mark W7MLG On Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 7:23 PM Eric - Gmail <[hidden email]> wrote: > The FAA rules on taking batteries on airplanes can be found in the > document "Batteries Carried by Airline Passengers: Frequently Asked > Questions" at > > www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/Airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf > > will allow you to take a battery as large as 160Wh.

I think Eneloop Pro have a higher internal resistance than the regular
Eneloop. In my experience, using both of them sequentially, the KX3 went more quickly to the enforced 5 watt maximum output with the Eneloop Pro cells compared to the standard Eneloop, despite the higher ultimate capacity of the Eneloop Pro. But, YMMV! Chip AE5KA On Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 9:32 PM Walter Underwood <[hidden email]> wrote: > Right, Eneloop Pro get 500 cycles instead of 2000 for regular Eneloop.

Will the Bioenno batteries have enough terminal voltage to get the 15W?
I'm looking at a 9Ah unit and if so will stop by Gigaparts on the way home from work today and pick one up.

LiFePO4s will stay at high enough voltage for most of the discharge cycle
to keep the KX3 above 15W. 9Ah will run it a long time.
