There is a battery in the K3. It is a coin cell for keeping memory alive.
If the battery gets low the K3 might indicate a low battery.

I assume you mean the KX3.  The K3 has no internal battery.

If you have Ni-MH batteries, they need recharging.  If you are using
Alkaline batteries, they need to be replaced.  I assume you have set the
menu BAT MIN for the type of battery you are using.  See the KX3 manual
page 36 of the manual.

Set BAT MIN for the type batteries used.  The default of 10 volts is
good for external Lead Acid batteries.  All other types require a
different setting.
