[Elecraft] Battery voltage on KX3 seems high...

[Phil Wheeler]

It may be related to drawing current from the 
internal batteries when you don't use a higher 
voltage external supply -- vs. no current from 
them when they are not powering the rig.

If I remove external power the KX3 reports internal battery voltage at 10.2v.  Is the KX3 trickle-charging the internal batteries when external power is applied, and if so what is the trickle charge rate?
