[Elecraft] Alternative battery for K2?

[Phil Wheeler]

I soon (12-13 years ago) decided I didn't want a 
battery inside the K2 -- so it was removed and 
only external batteries used. I was overly(?) 
concerned about leakage and such issues. I'd have 
the same, or greater, concerns with some of the 
newer, higher-density batteries if inside my K2.
