LiFePO3 can be as heavy as KX3 and defeats the purpose of KX3 if weight is
concerned.
True, but LiFePo4 are widely available, and more tolerant of careless
charging. They're still better than the internal NiMH cells.
I use 4S2P Lithium Ion. Like:
https://www.batteryspace.com/li-ion-18650-battery-14-8v-5-2ah-77wh-2x4s-s-rechargeable-battery-pack-6-24.aspx
Since it has 16.8V peak, I charge it via a diode for 16V. A diode internal
to KX3 makes it 15.4 V max and this is what the internal meter in KX3 shows.
Are you saying that have you installed this battery pack in place of the
AA cell holder inside the radio?
Are you saying that you're using the KXBC3 to charge your lithium pack?
Do you charge this battery in the field with either a solar panel or the
accessory (cigarette lighter) socket in a car?
This is 12% over 13.8 V. Lasts a long time. Full power up to 15W. No problem
in > 5 years.
