[Elecraft] Battery pack not powering K2

[oz6abm at qsl.net]

Hi,

 

I hope someone can help me here. I have K2 with the internal battery kit.

I have used this radio with the battery for many years, but now I have a problem.

When I power up the radio with only the battery it is dead, no display nothing.

When I apply a PSU it works fine.

I have checked all the connections P3 (Aux) and the Int. Battery switch on the back panel is ON.

Anyway, nothing has changed since it last worked.

When I check the voltage on the battery terminals it says 10.5V. I get the same reading on the P3 connector, so power is reaching the radio, but the radio is not powering up.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Robin
