It may be related to drawing current from the
internal batteries when you don't use a higher
voltage external supply -- vs. no current from
them when they are not powering the rig.

I have some NiMH batteries installed in my KX3, and while it is plugged into a
power supply or fully charged 12v battery the rechargeable batteries report a
voltage of 10.8v. If I remove external power the KX3 reports internal battery
voltage at 10.2v. Is the KX3 trickle-charging the internal batteries when
external power is applied, and if so what is the trickle charge rate?
Thanks.
