Take a look at http://www.seslogic.com/microm%2B.html for an efficient
charge controller well suited to the K2 SLA battery. It's also
described in detail in the Oct 2001 QST for those who want to build it
themselves.
=====================================
I have a much simpler design that functions the same as the above solar
controller. It has a power fet, 1 IC, 2 diodes, 8 resistors and 3 caps. The
circuit will handle up to 10 amps with the proper heatsink for the fet. If
anyone is interested I will mail you the schematic. Just send a SASE to:

BTW The speaker grill cloth modification for the K2/K1 is still available. I
have sent out well over 100 of them and I will buy some more cloth if I get
many more requests. Thanks to everyone that included a dollar even though it
is not required. I will use the money to buy more cloth.
