Hi, kwnewton! I don't remember greeting you before, and if I have, sorry.

I'm not the first by far to post this here, but you can change the K2's battery by yourself! It's far easier than Amazon's design would lead you to believe.

The video shows someone using special tools from a particular company, but I find a set of jeweler's screwdrivers works just as well.
