I often operate my KX2 from the internal battery. As a "backup" source I
frequently just take a second KXBT2 along. When you plug it into the
external power jack the KX2 will draw it's power from the pack with the
higher voltage.

The 12V Bioenno batteries have an internal battery management circuit.
They require 14.6 - 15 Volts input to charge properly. The BMC will
prevent overcharging and Bioenno Support says it is safe to leave the
charging voltage permanently applied.

No - the KXBC2 is not suitable for the Bioenno BLF-1203W, you should use the
charger sold by Bioenno for this purpose. Bioenno products are LiFePo, a
different kind of LiOn Chemistry than the Elecraft ones. The Bioenno
charger will work for all the higher AH batteries they sell that have the DC

I would definitely *not* use the KXBC2 charger with anything but a KXBT2, or an
exact equivalent pack, for safety reasons. The voltages and currents are
targeted specifically at 3 Li-Ion cells (11 V).
Just to give you another [probably biased, beware] opinion on the KXBT2,
though: The internal
Hi Bob,
Well, to get the ball rolling, I'd say no to the KXBC2. I use several different
sizes of the Bioenno LiFe batteries (see earlier threads this summer for a
detailed discussion), and I vote to use the proper charger. It's only a few
bucks more...on the road, I use an inexpensive converter
KX2 External battery question:
1) Will the KXBC2 charger work with a Bioenno BLF-1203W LiFePO4 battery?or 2)
What are very lightweight external batteries that will work with KX2, and not
add significantweight while hiking or backpacking and doing SOTA?Tnx in
advance,Bob K4RLC
