Tighe,

Check the plastic covering on the batteries carefully, you will likely find one where the battery case metal is exposed. Also check the screws mounting the battery holders - the screwheads should not be able to contact the batteries, but I think you will find that your screws project too far into the battery compartment.

When I started to reinsert the cells this morning I noticed the spring end of one cell slot had melted plastic in the spring and the spring is pushed through the end of the holder almost touching the large cap on the filter board. I almost certainly have a bad cell, now to figure out which one.
