Bioenno folks are awesome, too. Not as cool as Elecraft, but close.
Unsolicited Suggestion Warning: Put a switch inline on the AC power cord to the charger.... Personally, I am going to replace the cord with a longer cord with an inline toggle switch.
Or get the West Mountain box designed to power the radio and use Bioenno batteries as backup/alt.

I have the 20Ah Bioenno battery and am very pleased with it. I did have some issues with the company, but the way they resolved the issues makes me want to recommend them. The first issue was, I wanted a light battery to power a 100W radio, and first ordered a 15 Ah model, based on the website description that it could supply 30A continuous. When the battery arrived, its label indicated a much smaller continuous output capability. Bioenno acknowledged that the website was wrong, and arranged for me to trade up to the 20 Ah model. They said I could try the 15 Ah battery in actual operation before deciding to send it back. I did, and it did no do well at 100W rf out. Once I was set up with the 20 Ah model, I left it on the special charger for weeks between uses. The charger automatically stops charging at full charge, which is indicated by a red/green LED. However, one day I noticed the LED was dark. The charger had died. Bioenno quickly replaced it at no cost. I asked them if it would be better to unplug the charger from the AC when not needed, and they said yes. Bottom line: Their customer service is so good, it reminds me of Elecraft. 73, Erik K7TV ______________________________________________________________ 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]
