[Elecraft] [K1] internal battery - charging

[paulb]

Hello folks

Recently completed a K1, all works well.

A mod here which I know is nqr ( not quite right )
is fitting a simple  internal charger circuit so the batt pack
can be left in situ.

The original cover is also used, with the smaller speaker.
Fit is what could be politely called " snug " 

When external 13.5 volts is used, the batts get a very small
charge, about 15 ma. Now here is the tricky bit..when the 
K1 is off, but the external supply left plugged in, the charge
rate is approx 200ma.  

Yep I know it's not really correct,  but sure beats taking
the top off to replace cells.

cheers 

Paul
