[Elecraft] Elecraft KX3 Internal NiMH Power Supply Voltage after Charge

[Bill Frantz]

I have always heard that the rule of thumb for charging a 
depleted NiCd of NiMh battery is to charge it to 140% of its 
rated capacity. If you are charging 2700 mAHr cells at 200 mA, 
then you will need to charge them for 18.9 hours.
