bttery life of K2 using internal battery

Joseph Trombino, Jr
Am wondering about the typical life of the internal battery for the K2.

Assuming about 2.50 amps of current used when operating at circa 5W and
given the amp hour rating of the internal battery at 2.9 ah what is the
typical life of the battery for a typical QRP outing in the field???

I've been toting around a 7 ah gel cell for my K2 but the internal battery
option sure looks attractive in terms of portability and ease of use.

Would appreciate comments from users who take their K2 to the field.

                                I QRP, therefore I am
