While I have a 5 Amp-hr Lithium Ion battery and
use it, and also high-capacity Eneloops inside my
KX3 (with the battery charger option) my preferred
approach is to use ten external Eneloops in a
battery holder made to hold ten AA cells, this
sort of thing:

That way I have no power limitations, it's easy to
recharge the batteries (I have two Maha chargers,
one 4 cell and one 8 cell, so I always have the
ten needed spares available). Works good with a
number of rigs (K1, KX1, etc.)
While the capacity is only 2 A-h or so (vs. 5 or
higher with some of the newer, more exotic
batteries out there) this works for me -- and the
cells can be used for other things like a camera
flash gun. And easy to change out the cells to
fresh ones.
