Thanks, sirbruce;

I still have my orig. packing, and a year's warranty, so I think the best thing is to put the K2 thru its paces and see if anything amiss happens again. OTOH, I don't know about the LiPo technology, but other batteries enjoy a good, thorough discharge periodically.. .though I have seen that this is not the case for the LiPo.

All this reminds me of when I bought my Tandy 200, the 2nd generation of the venerable Tandy 100, the first laptop. People fixated on the 100/200s to a painful degree - extolling the virtues of 6v lantern batteries for power sources, bubble memory for storage and hacking the units for optimal whatever-you-wants. New technology is a trip, if you enjoy roller coasters.
