If they are NiMH cells, did you set the minimum voltage in the menu to
8.5v? That might be what's shutting it off.
Still might be a good idea to buy new cells.

Robin,
Can I assume those rechargable batteries are NiMH type? While they are
good, they do have a lifetime that is expressed in number of recharge
cycles. Personal experience has shown that the life of such batteries
is in the vicinity of 3 to 4 years.
It is often that the no-load voltage of a battery is OK, but as soon as
you draw any current, it goes "belly up". You can monitor the voltage
of the pack with the KX3 alternate VFO B display. Try to see the
voltage after the KX3 shuts off.

I am finding the same with my Eneloop NiMH batteries. It seems they are
showing diminished performance after three years in my KX3. This could be a
good thing as I can replace them with a higher A/hr set of batteries. Until
then I will run them into the ground.
