[Elecraft] Updated K2 battery pack?

[Francis Belliveau]

SLA technology handles constant voltage charging very well.  Other battery
chemistries require more care and attention of charging characteristics.  I
believe that this would require a charging circuit be included or battery
removal for charging.
