Several people have used LiPos in the K2 - I looked into it but I decided it was too risky. There is a risk of fire/explosion but with suitable protection the really big risk letting the battery go flat and ruining it. I have a LiPO pack to power the K2, but it remains external and has a low voltage warning buzzer.
Instead I bought a AA battery case, holding 8AAs as 2 rows of 4 with a PP3 type connector. You can get these everywhere. I installed it in place of the Gel Cell. It fits fine with a bit of padding. One or two slight circuit modifications later and with the case filled with cheap 2AH AA NiNH cells I had a new battery pack.
