Introduction

With the KBT2 installed, the K2 becomes the ultimate all-band field radio. Rated at 2.9 AH, the gel-cel battery is extremely safe, and can be recharged inside the K2 continuously from the same DC supply used to power the rig at home. Power outage? No problem--you'll never miss a beat! (KBT2 not available for K2/100.)
