Keith, Your KX3 has a built in low voltage warning -- you can set it to 11.5 volts or so and simply turn the rig off once you see the warning. At that voltage you will still have about 10% battery capacity left (assuming you are talking about a LiFePO4 battery.
Maybe we can convince Wayne to put in a Shut Off voltage in addition to the warning voltage. That could be set to 10.0 volts then. The Buddipole low-voltage cutout is in hard to beat -- small package, inexpensive price, sad they can't keep making them. Probably didn't sell many though. 73, Bob, WB4SON PS: PowerEx sells one for about $90 -- much higher current rating, but it could be adjusted to cut out where you want. Its a LVD-35. PPS: Some of the alarm companies sell them to prevent damage to the Alarm Panel SLA battery. Typical cutout is 10 volts which is fine for a LiFePO4. An ELK-065 comes to mind. About $20. Not packaged nicely. Just another alternative. On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:13 PM, N8CEP <[email protected]> wrote: > I purchased a very nice battery for my KX3 from Buddipole.
