It's a massive battery, (20 amp hours) and much more than I need, but I like the built in charger and the digital display of the battery life.<br /><br />The newer ones now have a USB port built into it. <br /><br />It works great when using it from a picnic table and it will run all day! Also a nice thing to keep in the trunk of the car because of the "light" that is built into it. <br /><br />I replaced the internal battery yesterday ($40 including post) and it should be good for another several years use now. I got around 6 years use from the old one. <br /><br />This morning we have a few inches of snow in the valley but we're were expecting 10-15 inches of wet snow in the mountains; which is sure to bring down the electric lines again. <br /><br />Hope you get the rain instead of the snow.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-20376170240523221442013-03-06T03:17:41.321-08:002013-03-06T03:17:41.321-08:00Good morning John, great work on number 57! I was ...Good morning John, great work on number 57! I was thinking of doing the same (using a car booster) when I am out in the field. The internal battery in the K2 and KX3 are nice but they do run down. I believe I see your booster in the main picture on your blog? Julie and I were watching the news last night and did see the storm on it's way. I hope by the time it gets up here our temp's will be up so it's just rain. Getting a little tired of the snow storms.<br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.com
