Howdy Gene, I am Scott AK6Q (email is old call sign) I have been using the A123 systems lithium nano phospate 12v 4.6aH battery with a US military 65W folding solar panel and a chinese charge controler (DC to DC). Pictured is my system. I got all of the parts from Ebay. A123 is about $129, the Solar Panel is $199 and the charge controler is about $29. I put it in my new bug out bag with a dipole 20M and an EndFed Half Wave antenna, throw line, KX3, Mic and Paddles, and note taking stuff and a small parts bag all for less than 17lbs.
