Ken,
The lithium batteries should be able to keep the clock going for quite a
few years. When the KX3 is off, the KXBC3 current should be around 50
to 75 microamps, depending on battery voltage, which comes out to
roughly 1.5 mAH per day.

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 ??
