Hi Carl,
I experienced the same as you about two months ago. I took out the battery
from the rig completely and charged it with a smart charger. I eventually
got a full charge reading of 13.2v and the battery is still working now.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Internal Battery Voltages
I just recently replaced the battery in my K2. I ordered from Elecraft, so
this is the "approved" battery. Last week, after a lengthy QSO, I forgot
to turn the rig off, and when I noticed it the next day that battery was
completely depeleted. I charged it up for 24 hours with a 14v supply and
it would only charge to about 12.1 volts. Though I don't remember for
sure, I thought this new battery when I charged it originally started out
at something like 13.2 volts or so. Does this sound right? What should
this battery registered when fully charged? Have I damaged it
significantly by letting it rundown to practically nothing? Obviously, I
goofed. I just hope that I haven't significantly harmed by battery life.
Thanks and 73,
Carl
