You can find the 10-cell on ebay. It does come from China and takes a
few weeks. But they're cheap.

The 10-cell holders seem a bit hard to find. In fact, I'd looked and not
found one -- so I was quite surprised to see one in my local store and
grabbed it. My old standby is a 10 AA holder which came with an old Icom
02-AT!

Right! The flexibility is good, and I have quite a few Eneloops on hand.
Yes, $10 is a bit pricy, David. Those are not exactly what I bought; I
just
searched Amazon for a link with an image; bought mine in a local store.
The
8-cell version is more common, but ten is a better choice for our rigs!

BTW that's a very expensive battery holder. I bought a couple of
these in the UK - not normally known for cheaper prices:

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:

_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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.
