Me too.
I only find the AA's useful in keeping the clock running.

Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?
The KX3 is my favorite of my HF radios right now. But one of my annoyances
is the internal battery limitations.
I always wind up carrying an external 6_Ah or 10_Ah LiFePo4 battery into the
field when I use this radio, an external charge controller, and solar panel.
It's not a big problem, but it also should not be a big project to improve
this situation. The KXBC3 has enough real estate to include a lithium
battery charger, and even a solar charge controller in its space. The amount
of battery energy that could fit in-place of the NiMH cells could
approximately triple the capacity of the AA cells.
So I have these questions:
1) How many of you out there might buy an upgrade which replaces the
KXBC3 board with a lithium battery manager, and a associated battery pack?
2) Are there any 3rd parties already making anything like this?
