[Elecraft] KX3 lithium battery charger

2013-04-22 Thread Paul Enz
I naively purchased AA lithium batteries for my KX3 and thought it would charge them only to find out it won't. Anybody have a suggestion or experience with a AA lithium charger they would recommend? Paul KA5SUN __ Elecraft mailing list
