Hi guys, I appreciate the the help you have given. The 7 cell is in fact a motor battery. I use it in my Slow Stick. The pack is not very old and I do have good soldering skills. I thought that if I inserted voltmeter probes on each end of a cell that was soldered together in a pack, the reading would be an indication of the entire pack rather than the individual cell. It seems that if I want to check the cells individually, then they should not be wired in a pack. Thanks
Steve
Steve,
You can just stick the probe through the plastic, and get the ends of the battery, it will tell the voltage of that cell, even if they are soldered. Remember to switch sides with the probes for each cell in sequence, or you'll get a neg. voltage reading on every other one. (Still will give an indication of a bad cell).
