I ordered a new top cover for my KX1 and installed two LiPo batteries into
it. Though the exact model of battery is no longer available I'm sure there
are others that will fit:

I love my KX1, but powering it with 6 AA Lithium cells puts out just 1.5-2.0
watts. I’d like a little more umph, since most of the time I use the KX1 in the
field, so I also have a less than optimal antenna.
I’d like to power it with 12V, but prefer not to use an external battery. Just
gives
I put a couple Zippy brand LiFePO4 packs in series in a replacement case
back for this purpose. I'm no big fan of Zippy brand, based on my past
experience, but these were OK and work fine for me, though only 700 mAh
capacity. Already had a balance charger for them.

My little 750 maH Li-poly would fit inside my KX1 if I remove the AA
battery holders. I say would because I haven't done it and won't ever
put an Li-Poly-anything *inside* a radio. I had one that I got at the
local RC Model shop catch fire while I was in the Spartan Sprint,
discharging it.
