I soon (12-13 years ago) decided I didn't want a battery inside the K2 -- so it was removed and only external batteries used. I was overly(?) concerned about leakage and such issues. I'd have the same, or greater, concerns with some of the newer, higher-density batteries if inside my K2.

Hi everyone.

Has anyone any experience or suggestions on replacing an aging internal K2
battery (the standard lead-acid type) with one of the newer, lighter and
more energy-dense batteries? I know there were some safety concerns with
lithium-based batteries early on, but now that they are are used in all
sorts of electronic gadgets, wouldn't there be some that would have the
right form factor and voltage to fit in for the existing K2 battery?
