Problem with that is a multimeter is NOT a reliable test of battery status. What you need is a meter that will put the battery under load and then read the voltage, if it still is in the nominal range, then the battery is likely good, if it falls below the nominal range, then the battery is not so good. All the voltmeter will tell you is the noload voltage which isn't really all that usefull other than for figuring out if the battery is dead or not. -- Harondel J.
