Hello Jay, There is a LiPo 3.7v AA size available. Therefore, 3.7 x 3 = 11.1v in parallel using the supplied battery holder but re-work the wiring between the two holders could be a solution. This kind of battery will go up to 4.2v when it is fully charged so that the max voltage generated = 4.2v x 3 = 12.6v and still within the tolerance. If your KX1 is with KX3080, then it would be a bit tricky in getting the max power from the radio. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ J <[email protected]> 收件人︰ [email protected] 傳送日期︰ 2015年04月9日 (週四) 8:18 AM 主題︰ [Elecraft] Internal Battery Alternavives for KX1 ?? I'm considering ways to increase transmitter power, by making changes to the internal batteries in the KX1.
I've seen a mod which added batteries. and a lot of other boards and dangles. In another mod, the owner just fabricated a larger KX1 chassis bottom and changed battery holders to obtain 14V. How about using six AA-size, 2.3 to 2.4 V batteries (if such things exist) and the existing battery holders in the KX1? Thoughts? 73 Jay W6CJ ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
