Stuart:
You are absolutely right. I've already had one "interesting"
battery incident (not with the K2 or the K2 battery) and
that was more than enough for one lifetime!
Thanks for the note. I'll get that battery disconnected
and the terminals insulated before the trip.

On Jan
Scott, never ship electronics with a battery installed unless you disconnect
one lead from the battery so that there is not way it can energize in
shipment. DO NOT RELY
ON ANY!! SWITCH! We have shipped equipment all over the world and seen it

Colleagues,
I got some great advice from the list from my four questions
posted a couple of days ago...
I had asked what to do about the dead potentiometer and the
response was: MAIL ELECRAFT! I did. They responded immediately
that they would send me a replacement pot immediately at no
charge. T

I am working on a modification of Don's extra charging jack by replacing
the SPST battery switch with a DPDT in the samf form factor. The switch
hooks the battery to the rig through the diode and resistor or to the
charging jack through a fuse. That provides direct access to the
battery safel
The battery is very secure in its wrap around aluminum bracket. Just set the
internal battery switch to the off position to be safe.
I use a Samlex PS goosed up to about 14.5V (Adjust VR2, not VR1!) connected to
the normal power jack and all is well.

Scott,
Answers to 1 and 3 -- the internal battery is quite tightly mounted, so you
should have no worries about it shaking loose.
I use the A&A Smartcharger on my K2 internal battery, and I have implememted
a direct (fused) battery connection for it. See my website
