I assume you are talking about the QRP 15W K2, Doug. I've had excellent results with a 7 AH sealed 12V AGM battery. Mine is made by Interstate, but there are many vendors with similar size and ratings. Size is 6" x 3.75" x 2.5" and it weighs in at a little under 6 lbs. Will run K2 on receive for over 24 hours and I can easily get a day (8 hours) of operating from it on CW. Can also be easily charged with a 10W solar panel. Think I paid about $22 for it a couple years ago.
Of course both smaller and larger batteries may be used depending upon if you're carrying it and the length of your operating period. I also have a 2.9 AH PowerSonic that weighs 2.5 lbs that I sometimes use if I won't be out long. Batteries Plus carries a good selection and they may have a store near you. 73 ...
