Be very careful to charge Lipo batteries only with a charger specifically designed for that type of battery, unless you don't value your K1 or your home!!!

Hello Jay,
There is a LiPo 3.7v AA size available. Therefore, 3.7 x 3 = 11.1v in parallel using the supplied battery holder but re-work the wiring between the two holders could be a solution. This kind of battery will go up to 4.2v when it is fully charged so that the max voltage generated = 4.2v x 3 = 12.6v and still within the tolerance. If your KX1 is with KX3080, then it would be a bit tricky in getting the max power from the radio.

主題︰ [Elecraft] Internal Battery Alternavives for KX1 ??

I'm considering ways to increase transmitter power, by making changes to the
internal batteries in the KX1.

I've seen a mod which added batteries. and a lot of other boards and
dangles.

In another mod, the owner just fabricated a larger KX1 chassis bottom and
changed battery holders to obtain 14V.



How about using six AA-size, 2.3 to 2.4 V batteries (if such things exist)
and the existing battery holders in the KX1?


Thoughts?
