> What are folks using in terms of an external battery for the K2? I have generic 7 AH and 12 AH gel cells for when I take the K2 away from AC. I also have a zero-cost charger for them. It's an old, small UPS in a plastic case that was tossed because its batteries were dead. I opened it up and extended the battery wires out through a slot filed where the case halves meet. On the far end of the wires I put Anderson Power Poles, same as on the K2 power cable and the short cables I put on the batteries. To charge a battery, I just hook it to the UPS and turn on the UPS. It brings the battery up to full charge in a few hours, and then trickle charges it. 73 de Jim, N2EY ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
