When messing with dry cells - batteries if there is more than one - pay a lot of attention to the mounting parts. A cell may test good with a voltmeter but it may not make a good connection with the springy metal parts in its holder.
Those cells are very lightly loaded as used in the computer. A voltage check with a removed cell is probably quite sufficient with use of a "battery tester" that tests with a "typical" load. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
