Hi If you can find someone with a volt meter, you could measure the voltage say 1hr, 1 day, 2 days after a full charge. A nice bit of graph paper should show any duff cells. That would show if any batteries were self discharging. For lack of capacity you could put a charged set into a camera, fire off a few dozen shots and then measure each cells voltage. If you don't have a meter you could use a low voltage flashlamp bulb and see which battery either does not light the bulb or dims much faster than the others. There may be battery testers available, but as an ex-electronics designer who still has two oscilloscopes - I couldn't buy one on principle! :-)) bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
