I've been following the KX3 battery threads from a distance since the beginning and would like to offer my own suggestion. Hopefully I'm not duplicating previous info.
I have several portable transceivers with AA battery cases. My current battery choice for most of them is the Sanyo 2700mAh AA. I have a couple dozen in daily use and have been very satisfied with them overall. In some radios they don't perform well but in most I've used they work very well. I've been purchasing them from <http://www.batteriesamerica.com> and charging/cycling them with a Powerex MH-C9000 charger/analyzer. If anyone has already tried these in a KX3 please let me know how it worked out. By the way, <http://www.batteriesamerica.com> has the eneloop XX batteries as well. 73, Gary N6LRV -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 6:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Batteries - rechargeable AA's Steve, the advice I got, a combination of list advice and internet reviews, is to go with the low self-discharge NiMH made in Japan, and the Sanyo Eneloop seem to have many followers, with the top of that line the Sanyo Eneloop XX batteries. Advice was to stay away from the Chinese products as too variable. I could not find XXs locally, and settled for the Batteries Plus Japanese NiMH batteries this week. No reference to discharge. I may regret that. Will buy a set of the XXs when I can. Too early for reviews.
