The KX2 battery will NOT charge from the external power jack - the lithium battery must be removed for charging. Unless handled with a heavy hand, the bottom of the KX2 will withstand many, many removals and installs. If you are concerned about removing the bottom of the KX2, you can always use the Lithium battery externally, just plug it into the power jack - no internal battery required.

The KX3 internal batteries can be charged from the power jack if you have the KXBC3 option installed.

Wonder whether they are RF quiet?

My thinking with KX2 that I take it with me,without anything external, use
portable, and then at home charge via USB overnight without pulling the
internal battery.  Just like the cell phone.
