LiFePo4 battery

Lyam Guerra
John, I have a K2/10 and I am using this LiFePo4 battery installed inside
the radio.

 I contacted this company and they gladly added separate charging leads to
the battery's PCB for free.  I got the charger that they recommend for this
battery (second link) and I hooked it up as follows.  Discharging leads to
the aux 12v on board.  Charging leads to panel mount 5.5 x 2.1mm jack which
fits perfectly in the xvrter hole.

I flip the battery switch from the KBT2 to off when charging and on when
running off batteries.

Works very well and very light.
