The battery protection module is different in one of them limiting the output power to 72 watts and 84 watts.
Also the two batteries with 84 watts output listed have a 12a and 14a peak pulse output according to their datasheets but is not reflected in their web page listing. Also different physical size according to their specs. |

Bigger question to be asked is, why not a bigger battery?
The 6Ah is only $30.00 more and doubles your run time on your Kx. Weight wise your adding just over a half pound. |

8oz is a decent amount of weight if you are backpacking. Does he need double the run time?
When I do backpack ops I literally question any piece of gear that weighs more than ~4oz. Do I need it? Can I replace it with something lighter? These days my 817 is my "mid weight" radio even when I strip it down. |

Yes, the weight is a concern, as I'm trying to keep it to a minimum for my KX3 kit. Still going for a lighter weight alternative to my QRP Ranger / solar setup, and the extra capacity isn't really needed this time.

I did wind up getting this battery at the Hamvention. Price was $50, including the charger, which was a little cheaper than the website price of $65.
12V, 3Ah LFP Battery (PVC, BLF-1203AB) |

So I’m jus now getting past a ht phase of ham. I’m going to be getting a dual band mobile soon for the car. My end goal is to be able to get a small hf and run either off of a small portable battery setup with roll up antennas. Mostly the end goal is backpack portable with the ability to recharge off a fold up solar panel. If anyone is doin this, what does it look it? What does it entail? Thanks

It could look like my KX3, QRP Ranger, PowerFilm 30w foldable solar panel, LNR Endfed antenna setup... or a lot of other HF radio, battery, solar panel, antenna configurations. Mic for phone (voice), notebook for digital comms (PSK31 or FT8), key for CW (Morse code). Lots of options at lots of different price points.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok, so if I run one of these batteries with a tyt th-8600 dual band 25w mobile, how long would the battery last? Also, would I need a 12v or 18v fold up panel? Do I need a charge controller? I use a power film 30w panel with a genasun charge controller and a123 lithium battery for my kx3. It’s a solid combo and I hear the bino batteries are better |
