While I have not heard of any K2 gel cells leaking, it is known and I have
seen Gel Cells similar in type and size, crack and leak in UPS systems.
Especially if you have a 7 year old battery, I think I would pull it out,
even if good, and get a fresh one in there to be safe. You can always use
the extra for a back up or for other radios externally. Most users of UPS
equipment replace batteries every 3 years, same for security hardware, (fire
alarms, etc.) around the lab here at the univ.
