As an rc-pilot I've used all kinds of loadable batteries since the late 70's. In comparison with the weight any kind of Lithium technology will be the best choice for outdoor use.
I prefer high capacitive cells in LiPo technology. The dimensions fit very well to the KX3.

14.8V 16000mAh - weight 2.85 lbs

Modified power reducer is recommended if battery is fully charged.
