Dick,
As an alternative, you can make a direct connection to the battery (put
a fuse in for safety please) and use one of the SmartChargers to keep
the battery topped off. Take a look at my website article at
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com to see how I did it.

I have a 10-watt K2 with the KBT2 installed. The KBT2 manual recommends a
14.0V power supply or battery life will be "reduced". It's easy to put my
K2 on my station's 12V supply (which is really about 13.6V), but I seek a
small switching power supply that I can adjust to 14V to power my K2 in the
field and keep the internal battery topped off. I have a Gamma Research
HPS-1A which is ideally sized, but I can't adjust the output voltage (and
the filter caps are operating very, very close to their rated voltage).
