[Elecraft] More power from K2

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Group,

I notice that battery technology has been improving. 
The internal lead-acid battery used in K2 can be
replaced by newer version with capacity of 3.5Ahr
instead of the original 2.9Ahr.  The new version can
be found easily in Hong Kong at a price of say US$10.

Therefore, my question is "Is it possible to modify
the K2 to deliver a RF output of something around
20-25W?"

It is ok to have my K2 operating at 12-15 watts.  With
a bit of more power say 25 watts, I can be heard more
easily. Of course, I know all the arguments of better
antennas etc etc.

I don't need a KPA/100 because I have already had a
K3.

I know there are some competent RF engineers here. 
Can somebody enlighten me?
