That will be a good test. The battery is out now sitting on the bench discharged...I am looking for more weak sticks by letting it sit for a week with no charge. If it survives that with only the three already identified then when the "new" sticks come in and I charge it up. I will try it out.

I put in a refurbed batt several days ago and it has so far cycled between 19 bars and 8 bars several times with nary a whimper. I have noticed that it recovers from low SOC much faster than the one with the three dead sticks and it gives me much more assist than the one with three dead sticks.. I havent gotten it below 8 bars yet because it is resisting going lower. I really have to work on getting it down.
