If I install l ion batteries in the KX3 the total volts will be about 15.2 plus
or minus... So what is the absolute Vmax for the KX3?

Ah Yes thats what I needed to know
Thank You.

15.0V is max. At 15.1V the KX3 goes dead due to protection.

Sounds like a series diode will drop the voltage to within range.

The regular Li-Ion charge to 4.2V per cell so it is 12.6V max for 3 and 16.8V
for 4. I use 12.6V but get full power only for the first 30% of charge. May
be a bit better if a series diode in KX3 is removed that adds about 0.6V
drop. One can charge the 4 cell Li-Ion battery to 15V only, for less cha
Charging Lion batteries to only about 90 percent of capacity will help to
extend the life of same. Likewise do not totally discharge Lions. Unlike nicads.
Nicads like to be stored in a discharged state. Lion like to be stored in a
charged state.
