[Elecraft] K2 Internal Battery Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

I see no harm in leaving the K2 internal battery installed and turned on 
for long periods of time.
The main reason for the battery switch is to prevent accidently powering 
the K2 during transport.

The internal battery in my K2 has been installed and the switch turned 
on for several years.
