I have 3 batteries for my PB 1400CS which I seldom use anymore. This morning I charged all three using my VST charger. Using my voltmeter, one battery measured 10.7 volts, one measured 10.9 volts and one measured 11.7.
I've removed the hard drive from the PB and I'm using a CF card. Also, I have a Sonnet G3 processor installed in the PB. I powered up the PB a few minutes ago using the best of the 3 batteries, the one that measured 11.7 volts. After 3 minutes, I got the "you're running on reserve power" warning, suggesting I connect to AC. Only 7 minutes later, I was told there was no more reserve power and that the system would be shut down in 10 seconds--which it did. All together, 10 minutes of use, including 1 minute to boot up. Two questions: what is the normal voltage for a fresh battery pack and how much running time should I expect from a fresh battery pack with the setup I have?
