Mike;
The kendrick pack has a 18volt socket for your lx200. So you wouldn't need a
converter. It gives you 4 12v sockets and a digital power readout. The
kendrick is a 33ah battery pack compared to the 17ah power pack your talking
about. It also comes with a carrying case and has it own charger. Now I
realize $390.00 is a lot of money but I have found it to be worth every
penny.
