Just retested all the batteries individually to check they are still OK
after charging and they seem fine.
Thanks for all the help

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.
