[Elecraft] K2 Internal Battery Voltages

[John R. Lonigro]

Don:

The K2 internal battery is a gel-cell (or sealed lead-acid) battery, not 
NiCd or NiMH, but much of your discussion probably still applies.  It 
may take a while for the "equalization" charge to get all the (6) cells 
charged to full potential, which is always true, but might be more so 
when the battery is totally drained, as it was in this case.
