The battery which came with the battery kit from Elecraft about 12 months or so ago is refusing to take any charge- I think I left it too long sitting at a nominal 13.8V and it never properly charged after having been discharged. I shan't repeat the mistake and will modify the K2 to take a separate charging input, however now I cannot find a replacement battery in the UK.
The original is 2.9Ah, but in the same size case all that is available now from the usual suppliers is a 2.1Ah battery which represents significantly less capacity. This information is coming from suppliers which do stock the same make as Elecraft supplied originally. I find it odd that it should have been replaced by a battery of lower capacity unless that is the original spec was over-generous or the battery was unreliable. To buy a replacement from Elecraft and then pay for the 1kg battery to be shipped from CA to the UK is crazy. I'd be grateful for any pointers from UK readers!
