I use the first battery in my K2 #01118 since July 2000 (more than 5 years)!

K2:
mode - CW only
output - 5 watts
note - diode and resistor from KBAT2 removed
        (see www.dk3red.homepage.t-online.de/en/s6.htm#trx6)

Charger:
- extern (www.dk3red.homepage.t-online.de/en/s7.htm#pwr3)
- float charging
- constant voltage = 13.8 volts
- maximal current = 330 mA (= 0.15 C)
