Sounds to me like you got real lucky. I'm sure that some capacity has been lost if you initially discovered it at 7 volts, but it seems as though it's recovered pretty well, considering.
I'm sure others will pop in with a better answer to your question (as in "quick & easy"), but I will say that if you're looking for a new shack gadget that can be used around the house (& car), check out a West Mountain Radio CBA (Computer Battery Analyzer). They're around $110, but work great. I purchased one for work, and have been very happy with it. I've used it on some personal batteries from time to time, and would have bought one myself if I hadn't justified work needing one ;-) In fact, it was the CBA that told me my K2 battery was pretty much shot. 73, Mike KW1ND [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Is there a quick & easy method of determining the approximate condition > of a K2's KBT2 battery? > By the way, something I did this morning, was shut the power supply off > for a half day.
