[Elecraft] Re: Experience with off brand Lithium AAs?
Looks like an inexpensive alternative for the KX1 and K1, Steve -- thanks. Haven't tried them myself. 73, Wayne N6KR Steven M.

[Elecraft] Re: Experience with off brand Lithium AAs? (and a WARNING!)
I know the Energizer's are the preferred battery for the KX1, but am curious if anyone has tried these off->brands that seem to save a couple bucks? For example I've had good luck with other batteryspace products: http://batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1506 I've just ordered a set and will post the results to my page when I get them in and tested. Caveat: At the bottom of the Batteryspace page linked above, there is a "Related Products" section. One of these items is a Lithium-Ion (as opposed to a regular Lithium non-rechargeables on the main part of that page) battery in an AA package. See: http://batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1336 This is a bad idea - be careful! The cell voltage of this "AA cell" is 3.7. Put six of these in your KX1 and you'll be lighting it up with 22 VDC!
