Hi Bruce,
I do not have the battery pack in my K2 however for years
I have been using these chargers for various
Gel cells and small lead acid batteries:
http://batterytender.com/selection_guide.php
The Plus model at $60 is a 4 step charger for gel cells,
and others, and the JR at $40 is a 3 step charger
that I have used also on very small Gel cell batteries when a lower
charge rate was desired.
These are very popular in the Motorcycle world. They
are discounted quite a bit and I've seen them
for $35 and $27 each. When the MC's are retired for the winter I just
leave a charger connected and they are
ready to go in the spring. I have 3 Plus models and a JR and they have
never failed me.
No financial interest just a satisfied customer.
73,
Bob

Hello all,
Is there a simple off the shelf model of battery charger which I can
buy or build that will properly charge the K2 battery?
I'd prefer not to drill a hole in the rear apron, so I'm looking for
a commercial solution, ideally with an adjustable output.
What have you found that works, or how did you solve your K2 battery
dilemma?
Thanks!
