There's a menu entry to set the minimum voltage before a "LO BATT" warning shows up. "HI CUR" will be flashed if transmit current drain is excessive (and power will be automatically reduced in this case, just like on the K2 and K3). > There is a product called > the "Watts Up Meter" which I have used with my K3 in the field which > measures: Amp hours (Ah), Watt hours (Wh), voltage, Watts and > captures peak > current (Amps), peak power (Watts) and voltage sag (minimum Volts). > It could > come in handy while trying different types of batteries.
