K2 - Replacement Battery

[Larry Dodson]

I wondered if anyone in the UK has found a local source for a K2 replacement battery that fits internally? Thanks - Larry G0IKE

It's a standard sealed lead acid, try Maplins.

Yes, Larry, the size is 178 x 34 x 60mm and is available from Maplin as
follows:

MM23A   12V 2.2Ah SLA  at  11.99ukp
or
XG74R   Yuasa 2.1Ah L/Acid Bat 12V  at  17.99ukp

I have had an MM23A in my K2 for about 5 years and it is still going
strong.  I normally run my K2 from an external 14.0V supply which keeps
the internal SLA battery happy.

Larry

Maplin and others sell a near equivalent, try Maplin's MM23A
(www.maplin.co.uk).
