Hi Steve,
Yes, I would like to see this. I no longer even bother installing the
internal batteries but just carry along a Bioenno pack.
I have not heard of any 3rd party solutions.

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?
