Lucas, If the power supply voltage is within the range specified in the KBT2 manual, the continuous voltage to the battery (often refered to as 'float charge') will do no harm.
Note however, that the manual states that the battery will continue to charge even thought the *K2* power switch is off. If you turn off the internal battery switch on the rear panel, the battery will receive no charge. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/7/2011 4:07 PM, lucassi wrote: > Hello my friends, > > I'm using a K2 with KBT2 option.
