[TenTec] OT: Anyone used LiFePo technology yet for portable operations?

[Kevin Anderson via TenTec]

I don't have specific experience with the batteries you ask about.  I'm replying because I recall that the Scout quickly gets "squirelly" with low battery voltage.  I remember when I first got my used Scout back in 1999 and was tuning several brand-new Hamstick antennas without the car running, and so just running off the car battery.  And it didn't seem to take long before the radio was squawking and making extra noises as the car battery started to run down.  So make sure you get a battery setup with enough capacity, or run with a battery booster, to make sure you can operate cleanly for your entire expected length of time for operating, as the Scout's receiver is relatively thirsty compared to other portable radios.
