Hi Roger,

This isn't to say your batteries are not as you say, but sometimes batteries show themselves to be fully charged when in fact they are quite dead. When this is true, they usually won't take a charge. I suggest testing the batteries with a tester to see what they are producing for voltage, and if possible an amp meter to check them under load.

I need software to reprogram the chip in 3400 Li-Ion batteries similar to the program for the 500 series batteries, I now have 3 brand new batteries that the LED's say are fully charged, but the computer says are dead that will not charge in the computer and that a VST battery charger says are fully charged, I have 2 differnt machines, one is running OS 8.6, the other 9.1.

Thanks
Roger
