Eddy,

The most likely answer is that your batteries are self discharging.  NiMH batteries will do that, although there are low self discharge batteries available that you should look into.

  I have a KX3 with the KXBC3 Nimh charger and Nimh batteries installed. My
question is: What's the current drain on the NICADS when I store the KX3
for long periods of time? The KX3 is primarily used for portable operation
and when I put the KX3 on the bench the batteries are dead needing
recharging. I wonder if I should pull on AA battery out during storage?
