K2 Dropping Out at Load

[ny4g]

This is the first time this has happened on my K2.  It dropped out on key down at about 70 watts.  I am powered with a 33a-h SLA battery.  What can possibly cause the cutout on power?

Over 5 amps of current into the base K2 will cause the resettable fuse
to trip.
Did you see a HiCur message?
Check the current draw of the base K2 (tap DISPLAY) during transmit - it
should not exceed 3.50 amps.
