[Elecraft] KX1 internal battery

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Leave the batteries in. 

The KX1 is specifically designed to have the internal batteries in place
while it is being powered from an external source. 

If you refer to the schematic diagram (Appendix B), diodes D2 and D3 (upper
right corner of the schematic) isolate the battery supply from the internal
supply, so no voltage is applied to the battery pack when an external supply
is used. Also, if you shut off the external supply, the diodes prevent the
supply from draining the internal batteries.
