You must measure the batteries under load. The no-load voltage is almost
meaningless.
You must use NiMH batteries in the KX3 if you are using the internal charger.
The best way to test them is to use an external battery charger built for RC
that accomodates NiMH chemistry, and can both charge
Eneloop Pro (labeled Eneloop XX for a bit) are rated for 500 charge cycles.
Regular Eneloop batteries are rated for 2100 charge cycles but have lower
capacity. Choose the one you prefer. I like the higher capacity batteries.
The Wikipedia page on Eneloop has a chart that clears this up to some
Something I learned from one of our "tech reps" regarding rechargeable
batteries and charge cycles. I have successfully applied his advice
for a multitude of and different types of my rechargeable batteries.
If you use a battery and then recharge it, that is one charge cycle.
Likewise if
I think Bob is mainly referring to NiMH batteries. I am not sure about
the partial discharges, and whether each one counts as a whole cycle.
That is certainly NOT true of lead-acid and Li-Ion batteries, which will
survive many more partial discharges than deep ones. Li-Ion batteries
should not
Lots of excellent advice in this post.

I had a pair of huge lead acid AGM batteries die on me after a bit over
six years of very light use in a solar panel and battery system.
Consulting the factory, they stressed that the batteries were getting
cycled each day that the Sun came out and the charger started charging
the batteries. I

Six years on a pair of big AGMs? You are lucky - I usually get about
4-5 years on a pair in float service. Chalk
