[Elecraft] Modern battery for K2

[Sverre Holm (LA3ZA)]

I wonder what resulted from this. I looked at it also and found that although
this high-capacity battery probably fits physically, it may not be a good
idea to put it inside the K2 due to the power switch and the indicator LED.
See image at e.g  Aliexpress.com

.

If fitted inside the K2, the switch must be on and then the indicator will
discharge the battery - unless someone has found a way to disable the LED
without damaging the battery.

As an external battery, it would be excellent though, as far as I can tell.
