[Elecraft] KX3 battery problems

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

The big secret is to buy "pre-charged" NiMH batteries.

Normal NiMH batteries will self-discharge in a fairly short period.

Low-self-discharge batteries will hold a charge for a long time, and can 
be sold as "pre-charged" so the consumer can buy the rechargeable 
batteries they want and not have to buy "temporary" alkalines.

Eneloops are considered to be the best, certainly the most well known.
