Understood. I could do both. I've have a battery tester (22-031
discont.) that measures 150ma @ 1.5 volts,. Has an analog meter a
little larger than 22-093's. I assume measure each cell after it
settles five minutes or so. Do you happen to know if all of the bats
need to be in the same metal case with the other components? Rob D.
