NiMH-only far as I know. There are safety issues with Li, and NiCd types aren't often used any more.
If several charger settings are offered, it's a sure bet that some user will set it wrong for the battery type being charged. This can damage batteries and in turn cause them to bulge or leak. Could produce disappointing results for the KX3 owner. I see problems like the above in consumer products all the time. The user leaves the charger enabled, then puts non-rechargeable cells in the device. And then we get it back for repair.... NiMH offer the best compromise, imho. And the KXBC3's charge rate is around C/10 (10 hour charge time, roughly), so the NiMH cells won't overheat. Wayne's chosen best for all of us, seems like. matt W6NIA On Sat, 30 Jun 2012 10:33:59 -0400, you wrote: >I know the internal battery charger for the KX3 is still being finalized, >but my question is: will it be able to charge differnt types of batteries >like lithium or just nicad? >K2QY >______________________________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft >Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm >Post: mailto:[email protected] > >This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
