Hello all. I just installed the KBT2 battery kit in my K2. I have a 5 watt unisolar flex panel that I would like to use to charge/run the K2 with especially for field day, portable, etc... My panel puts out 17.5 volts no load at a rated 5 watts according to the company. I read in the KBT2 Manual that the the current control is done by the 6.2ohm/2watt resistor. which should handle any typical power supply So I would think. Does this also apply to the solar panel?? my thinking is that to start with that the battery is only going to draw what it needs to keep the charge. Is this Correct?? or is the higher voltage an issue?? Thanks David KR4OW K2 4320
