I use battery packs from Batteryspace.com. They seem to work pretty well. I've used them with the FT-817, various HT's, a portable fan, and electrically-heated socks.

Has anyone had any experience with something like these: <http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-12V-li-ion-Rechargeable-Battery-Pack-9800mAh-/230469117735> ? That looks like it's pretty compact, and will run a pair of 817s a good while. Any suggestions for a more domestic source would be appreciated as well. 73, Drew KO4MA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
