Deni,
It should work fine, especially if you keep the power to 5 watts or
under. Set the CAL CUR parameter at 3.50 Amps to avoid HI CUR warnings.
If you try to run at 10 watts, the IMD will be reduced and the current
draw will be excessive.
Remember that the K2 tries to produce the power requested by the POWER
knob, and in order to maintain that power at reduced voltage, the
current must increase.

I have some 3 cell LiPo batteries normally used for RC aero models and I'd
like to try these externally with my K2. The batteries are 3.7V per cell
500mAH which will give 11.21 V fully charged.
I do of course have a suitable charger for LiPo batteries.
How will the K2 perform at this reduced voltage? Opinions please.
