[Elecraft] Alternative battery for K2?

[Matt Maguire]

I use a 4-cell LiFePO4 battery, with Anderson Power Pole pigtail, connected externally to the K2. Easy to change batteries without having to open the rig, and by recharging the battery external to the radio there is no risk of engulfing my beloved K2 in a spectacular ball of flame.

Hi everyone.  

Has anyone any experience or suggestions on replacing an aging internal K2  
battery (the standard lead-acid type) with one of the newer, lighter and  
more energy-dense batteries? I know there were some safety concerns with  
lithium-based batteries early on, but now that they are are used in all  
sorts of electronic gadgets, wouldn't there be some that would have the  
right form factor and voltage to fit in for the existing K2 battery?
