Thanks, John. I wondered if Don's comments applied to lead-acid
batteries. How long should I charge it for equalization purposes, and
at what voltage? Tnxs & 73, de N8VZ (Carl)

Don:
The K2 internal battery is a gel-cell (or sealed lead-acid) battery,
not NiCd or NiMH, but much of your discussion probably still applies.
It may take a while for the "equalization" charge to get all the (6)
cells charged to full potential, which is always true, but might be
more so when the battery is totally drained, as it was in this case.

Carl,
I know little about the K2 battery but assume that it is
nickle-cadmium or nickle-metal-hydride and probably consists of 10 or
so cells in series.
