They will work fine with the K1. I use a set of MAHA 2700 mah batteries in mine almost every weekend.
Here is a little chart I made up and laminated to stick on the K1 which shows the most efficient Power Output vs. Battery Voltage. Keep tabs on your battery voltage with the built-in voltmeter and adjust power accordingly. V Po 8.0 2.6 8.5 2.9 9.0 3.2 9.5 3.6 10.0 4.0 10.5 4.4 11.0 4.8 11.5 5.3 12.0 5.8 12.5 6.3 13.0 6.8 13.5 7.3 Eric KE6US -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Gates Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 12:37 AM To: elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] (no subject) To all..... I ordered 8 rechargable batteries from ZBattery at a good price. I have stayed away from rechargable batteries because of the 1.2 volts per AA battery. However these are the high capacity batteries <<2450 amp hr.>> What do you think for my K1? At 9.6 volts I am not sure what power output I will have... If it doesn't work out for the K1 I can always use them in my dig. camera! Paul Gates Elecraft K1 #231 XG1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
