Stuart:
You are absolutely right. I've already had one "interesting"
battery incident (not with the K2 or the K2 battery) and
that was more than enough for one lifetime!
Thanks for the note. I'll get that battery disconnected
and the terminals insulated before the trip.

one lead from the battery so that there is not way it can energize in

accidentally turn itself on through vibration or switches that short,

take a blow and get broken. You can never predict what a unit may
endure in
shipping.
It only takes a moment to remove the covers of the K2 and reconnect a
battery lead.
Safety first!
