[Elecraft] Battery pack not powering K2

[Ingo Meyer, DK3RED]

Hello Robin,

I had the same problem a few years ago. Charging with an external charger seemed to work. 
But the transceiver switched off very quickly, even though there was still enough voltage. 
Finally, after 10 or 11 years of use, I exchanged the battery for a new one and everything 
was fine again. Knowledge: Lead batteries don't live forever.
