Re:  "...batteries were quite discharged..."

Bob,

Glad you got things working.

Keep in mind that if any cell was discharged below 1 volt, there is a likely 
chance that it has been damaged and cannot be recharged successfully.  That is 
why the KX3 shuts down at 8 volts, to protect the cells (1V per cell X 8 cells 
= 8V).  That is also why it is important to use Low Self Discharge (LSD) cells. 
 Non-LSD cells will continue to self-discharge below that 1V level, destroying 
themselves.
