Strictly depends on the power level you intend to run. I ran my KX3 at 5w for all of Field Day, and for a two-day camping trip last weekend without charging in between. It's a "K2 Energy" lithium ion and weighs just a few ounces. Couldnt be happier with it. After 4 days of off-on operating, still produces 12.4 volts.

YMMV.

I would appreciate knowing the experiences of folks who have run their K3 on battery power for several (4-8?) hrs., with perhaps a 20% TX duty cycle. What types and sizes of batteries seem to be the best balance of staying power and portability?
