I wonder what resulted from this. I looked at it also and found that although this high-capacity battery probably fits physically, it may not be a good idea to put it inside the K2 due to the power switch and the indicator LED. See image at e.g Aliexpress.com <http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/DC-12V-9800mAh-Super-Rechargeable-Lithium-ion-Battery-Pack-T-1298A/810723_539046329.html> .
If fitted inside the K2, the switch must be on and then the indicator will discharge the battery - unless someone has found a way to disable the LED without damaging the battery. As an external battery, it would be excellent though, as far as I can tell.
