I have had lithium batteries in my KX3 since I received it last Nov. I use the batteries only to keep the clock alive and have never used them to transmit or receive.. I use an external power supply to transmit etc, I now find that if I try to turn on the rig using just the batteries the rig comes on then immidiately turns itself off. I assume the batteries are to the point where there is not enough voltage to power up the rig but the B T voltage reads 10.5 to 11 volts which I thought should be enough to turn the rig on Does the clock in the KX3 take that much power that even lithium batteries have a very short life .?? Has anyone else experienced this situation?? Is there something I am missing ??
