Recommended Batteries?
What batteries do you recommend or, better yet, what batteries do you use (brand, type, V, mAh ...)?

Re: Recommended Batteries?
I use 10x EBL AAA rechargeable 1.2V 1100mAh batteries from Amazon. I 3D printed a little case and slide to go on the back of the (tr)usdx, so I have 2 packs which I can easily switch out. FYI I came up with this right before Manuel introduced his, I think his is cooler
I'm in the process of testing how long these will work for with POTA activations, right now I think I can get a good couple hours of operating out of them but haven't had time to run that long in one shot yet.

Re: Recommended Batteries?
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'll start with the 18650. See how well they work for sota trips (mist,rain, snow, sunshine!)

Update: Still trying to exhaust the AAA rechargeable battery pack, after 2 hours and 66 POTA QSOs I wore out way before the battery did. This little radio is incredibly power efficient!

Re: Recommended Batteries?
I use 10 AA Nickel metal hydride. Nominal 12 volts. Easy to find. Not too expensive. Safe. Take a while to recharge. Not as light or compact as lithium. Finding a 10 cell AA holder is probably the hardest part.

Re: Recommended Batteries?
I use this. 3AH USB and 12v power with built in on off switch all about the same size as the rig.
