Hi Johnny ...

I think you are missing a key concept about the battery rating.  The amp
hour rating defines how much energy is contained in the battery - not its
voltage.  To get more power out of the K2, you would need to raise the
battery voltage.  Even if you did so, the K2 is not designed to operate at
over 15V.  Don't go there!!   And, as others have pointed out, 25W would not
be much more effective than its present 15W.  All the extra amp hours of the
new battery will get you is extended battery life at the present 15W power
level.  This can be a good thing if you are operating portable, but will not
increase the power level of the transmitter.
