I had my first battery last about 5 years until it wouldn't turn on the radio. It started to leak on one corner, so I was glad to get it out of there before it got on anything. Do you measure the voltage when the K2 switch is turned on? Mine was about 3 volts when the rig was turned on, but obviously dark.

I have K2 with the internal battery kit. I have used this radio with the battery for many years, but now I have a problem. When I power up the radio with only the battery it is dead, no display nothing. When I apply a PSU it works fine. I have checked all the connections P3 (Aux) and the Int. Battery switch on the back panel is ON. Anyway, nothing has changed since it last worked. When I check the voltage on the battery terminals it says 10.5V. I get the same reading on the P3 connector, so power is reaching the radio, but the radio is not powering up. Any suggestions?
