Assuming these are intelligent batteries like the 500 series, is there
anything comparable to test the circuitry inside? It seems that even
working 500 batteries usually have screwed up microprocessors, as evidenced
by VST software results. I have only one which tests as good, but four
others which take a full charge but fail the VST intelligent updater. I'd
hate to rebuild one, and find out the circuitry is NG.
