Greetings all! My KX3 has the set of internal NiMH batteries and currently reads 9.9v while idling (I haven’t charged the batteries recently). When I power the KX3 from an external 12V SLA battery - which reads 12.2V on my Fluke DMM - the KX3 reports 10.2V while idling. I might expect the KX3

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response! I’m guessing that perhaps you’re considering that the voltage of the SLA is sagging when it’s running the KX3. I wondered that too - so I measured across the terminals of the SLA while it was powering the KX3. It still measured 12.2V, so it wasn’t sagging.
