I also removed the KBT1 from my K1 for the reasons Mike kk5f mentions 
and much prefer an external gel cell.  I do enjoy the tilt stand, 
however, when operating at a picnic table.  I can see where it might be 
less useful on a trail.  Here I am roughing it - life can be so 
challenging - on Field Day 2013:

Notice gel cell, stand, etc.
