I just installed the KXBC3 in my KX3 SN 460. The batteries are Sanyo Eneloop XX 2400 mAH rechargeable NiMH batteries. I had charged them one time before installing on a NiMH specific charger. There was maybe a few hours of use on them. They were run down to the point where the rig shut down. As soon as I installed them in the KXBC3, I did a 4 hour charge to top them off. They indicated a full charge when I was done. I turned on the KX3 and the battery indicator showed a full charge but began an immediate slow discharge. Within a few minutes they hit the 8.5 V limit and the rig shut down. I've read and re-read the manual but do not see anything that I've done wrong. I've been running the KX3 on SLA batteries with no issues.
