I'd recommend the sanyo 2500maH Pro "LSD" batteries - I think they're marked as "XXX". The 16 hour charge will ensure a full charge. For me it often trips out as an "over temp" once or twice before the charge completes. This is just the cells producing heat when they reach full capacity. The "LSD" bit is Low Sell Discharge - they hold the charge longer than typical NiMH (this works for me as the KX3 can sit around a while before I take it "bush".

Ordered a KX3 today and now need some help with what batteries that I need to order. As in larger size, exact type, brand, number on times they can be recharged even best place to buy them. Is an external charger/conditioner needed or helpful to have? Have never bought rechargeable batteries before so thought I would turn to the group for input. The same applies to a small quality power supply to supply the KX3's power. Thanks to all in advance for your help. 73, Fred/N0AZZ ______________________________________________________________ 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
