pYes, that's exactly what that means. I figgered forty bucks ($30 return

pAnd I was right; looks good - lasts a long time.

p At the moment I am resorting to a slow process
br
br 1.  Put battery pair in RipFlash
br
br 2.  Start recording, note the time when the first battery bar
goes out.
br
br 3.  Test the voltage of the batteries; label the weakest one
with the
br time and put the strongest one, recharged, back in the pool.
br
br 4.  Take a new charged pair from the pool and repeat.
br
br Eventually you get a set of batteries that last long enough for the
br purpose, and a batteries labelled with time according to their weakness
br that won't.
br
br It's a little slow though.
br
br Something that simply discharged the batteries and measured the
br total energy or something would do better.
