I recently found what appears to be an excellent battery for the KX1 and K1 in the field:
It's a very compact lithium battery pack rated at 12V 3.5Ah - just a little smaller than the KX1 footprint. I have not used it over many re-charge cycles yet, or measured its performance but it does give several hours' operation with the KX1 and is a great deal lighter and easier to carry than an SLA type. The charger that comes with it looks cheap but works. The battery itself is encased in a metal box with on/off switch. I don't notice any heat when it's being charged. I have no commercial ties with the guy selling these on eBay and I take no responsibility if you buy one and have any problems. Mine works just fine and I thought it may be of interest to other QRP enthusiasts.
