[Elecraft] [K2] Has the k2 a future - not if you use Li-Po cells!

[AD6XY]

This is why I eventually decided to use AA NiMH cells instead when replacing
the lead acid battery in my K2. 

I use 10 AAs in a pack, this gives me 2.5AH vs ~3AH for a small LiPo pack of
similar mass. The LiPOs are fine but I will keep them outside the case so I
can throw them somewhere if a fault occurs. I am sure computer packs are
fine but I am wary of the RC type packs. The advantage of NiMH is they are
easy to charge. They may fail faster but they are very cheap to replace.
