[Elecraft] Battery pack not powering K2

[oz6abm at qsl.net]

Thanks for the good advice. I have now seen the voltage drops to 2.3 V on the battery when the K2 is powered on, even though it's close to 11 V charged.
So I have ordered a new battery and will see if that resolves it.

Frank,

Yes, that is the battery supplied by Elecraft.
If you do not have the battery installed, you may also be missing the thin foam strip that is to go between the battery and the bracket. 
Nothing really special, and if you have some of that material on hand, just cut it the size of the battery.  The foam pad makes the battery a bit more secure when installed in the bracket (i.e no rattling).
