[Elecraft] K2 with internal battery?

[John Huggins]

Hello all,

As I creep towards my K2 definition...

- Low wattage is fine
- SSB option (yeah I know I probably want 100 watts with this, but I
still want it)
- DSP Board maybe

...and since one person spoke about the coolness of taking one and only
one box to the picnic table along with a simple wire...

- Internal antenna tuner
- Internal battery option

...are must have options.

However, reading today's threads about leaking batteries renews my
concerns about batteries in general.

So is there a consensus that internal batteries, while functionally
terrific, are just trouble waiting to happen?

Thanks, as usual, for your inputs.

John
