 Byron,  I believe Diode D10 on the RF Board would prevent the battery from
discharging out through the Power Connector J3.  For example, one cannot
measure the battery voltage at the power connector.  This diode blocks
current flow in that direction.  Additionally, the charging circuit for the
battery (resistor and diode) might fool the CBA even if you could do it
through the power connector.

You coule open up the K2 and take the positive lead off the battery and then
check it that way, direct to the battery.

I have an Elecraft K2 with KBT2 Battery Option.
I also have a West Mountain Radio CBA (battery analyzer).

Can the CBA test the KBT2 by simply connecting the CBA to the 14VDC input
connector, or does the battery need to be removed?

Thanks!

73, Byron
