I use 5500 maH LiFePo4 battery and one 60W foldable solar panel with my KX3
in the field. It gives me 10W around the clock. The battery is under 1 Kg
and can be charged with any charger because BMS and protection is all built
in. The fastest charging time is only 15 minutes with 20A charging current,
I use 2X 20AH LiFePo4 batteries with pair of 60W foldable solar panels if I
operate my K3 at 100W. This is also good for around the clock operation on a
sunny day. These batteries also have BMS built in and do not require
balancing charger.

Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 Suggested External Battery
I'm sure this question has been asked many times. I recently bought a KX3
so
I'm new at QRP and I'm about to head to a camp ground in a few weeks and
go
portable. Besides using internal batteries, what longer lasting external
batteries are recommended? I hear of Lipo batteries and a slew of others.
I'm just trying to navigate though the maze of options.
Any and all feedback would be welcome.
