Using 8 internal eneloop cells, I measured battery voltage versus current (as shown on the KX3 display) during RX and different TX pwr levels, created an Excel scatter chart and fitted a linear trend line. The result: 1.15 Ohms, R^2 = 0.95.
A single eneloop cell has around 0.035 Ohms of internal resistance (measured with a 4-connector battery DC resistance meter forcing current pulses thru the cell under test). My conclusion: 25% of the 1.15 Ohms are due to the 8 cells, 75% originate in the battery holder and additional wiring.
