I've used a deep-cycle marine battery with my K-1 and had good results but now

Lithium-ion over lead-acid gel cell type. Although it is more expensive, it is
far superior (at least as far as I have found).
I have two 1x4 (four cell) packs from Buddipole with Lithium Iron Phosphate

I bought two 12v lithium-ion packs off ebay. They have built-in charge
controllers and can accept practically any 12v input. The smaller one
is something like 3amp/hr and the larger one is maybe 7amp/hr. The
smaller one will keep a K1 or KX1 on the air for many hours. The larger
one handles
Thanks to everyone, both on & off list, who replied to my battery question!
